It would seem so.

Eh - my friends just don’t actually enjoy the hobby - minus one, but it is his profession so he does t enjoy building stuff with me unless he’s off for a few days. The rest have kids/limited time - or already made it to get off my lawn stage.

My other half is usually up there with me honing in resin skills for when we make it up to live edge tables. It’s getting too cold for resin to cure properly in the shop and we’ve been spending less time up there.

Yeah but they aren't offering nothing in return.

If they have the specific tools you're looking for to finish a job or something, a little time for access to the tools you need likely isn't a bad trade.

The age thing makes it sound like a personal ad almost though lol

I don’t want to incapacitate myself and not be able to make it to the urgent care a half mile away.

Also - trying to meet people with similar hobbies. Hence mentioning age. Lol. Harder to meet people with commonalities the older/farther from the city you get.
