For many of us, when we reach a certain age we are allowed to go in one of three directions. These three flavors of personality are known as trains, World War 2, and woodworking. This is a known fact. Sure, it provides you a bunch of personal satisfaction, but it makes you infinitely more difficult to talk to at parties. Any reasonable person can only listen to someone talk about joiners for 30-45 minutes tops before they want to go home. The woodworkers of the world have smooth, impenetrable brains, much like a properly sanded and lacquered chifforobe.
Anyway, here are some very cool things people managed to do with wood. Personally, we prefer to burn it and then poke at it with other, smaller pieces of wood, but shaping it into miracles of engineering is a close second. Poke poke poke.
For some other terrific feats of craftsmanship, here is fancy brickwork to gawk at and feel unskilled over.
