Anyone here learned a new skill in the last six months worth mentioning? - your experience

Curious what people here actually think about this.

Part of the reason I asked is because I would rather get a range of actual opinions.

If you have tried something similar and it did not work out I would genuinely like to know that too.

What do you reckon?

I don't know about that. That makes sense actually.

Good thread this

[NinaVrina]

Yep, agree with that. Every time without fail.

Appreciate it

Picked up woodcarving over the winter, mostly out of sheer cabin fever. Thought it would be a relaxing little hobby where I could just zone out with a block of pine and some whittling knives, but my bandaged thumbs tell a completely different story. Turns out hand strength and grain direction matter a whole lot more than YouTube shorts make it look. Still, there is something deeply satisfying about turning an ugly chunk of scrap wood into a vaguely recognizable forest owl, even if it looks more like a potato with ears.
