I like to work a lot with wood. I make furniture that falls apart. I also sew.
Our guys took Shop and Advanced Shop. Shop is when you make a chair. Advanced Shop is when you paint it.
Wood is weirdly a big passion of mine. I really love it, all the way from trees to a finished table. The fact that it was alive and that each piece is different.
But by the time you get there and you get home, it winds up being a lot of time out. So I'm getting the itch to build, I know that. I keep looking at my stacks of wood and what I can do with it.
I have been taking some classes in woodworking. It's really helpful just looking at a problem, and having a very tangible way in constructing it.
I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.
To be able to make furniture has always been a fantasy of mine.
I use a retouching varnish which is made in France, Libert, and that's all the varnish I use.
