I have been a medieval re-enactor for over twenty years. I actually
got into woodworking through re-enactment. The lesson I learned in
being deeply involved in any hobby was that if I'm not having fun
doing this, do something different.

I used to be a medieval archer. Then it got to be work. So I pulled
back from that part of it, and threw myself into woodworking. I still
have my armor and my bow, and I shoot every now and then, and it's fun
again.

My advice would be for you to do something different. You look like
you've been doing cabinetry. Build a boat. Turn a bowl. Tiller a
bow.

Take a different path. Not only will your enthusiasm for the craft
return, but you will be able to return to cabinetry in time with a
renewed sense of purpose.

Is this a phase I am going through, or is it all over??
I have my gar....shop setup with all the tools I think I will ever need,
built a few projects, nothing to fantastic, cabinets for our bathroom,
stereo cabinet, and some other piddley stuff. I am in the process of
building a desk for my daughter, but fail to get out there to finish it!

Then today I fellow and I were talking tools, and he asks me if I want to
sell my jointer that I bought a year ago. I had to think about it, I still
don't know what the answer is!
Will this go away, or am I doomed?!
