I will pray for your knee that God heals it and that he provide for you financially. Sorry for taking this tread off topic. Please resume if you have a mind to.....
Sokay...
Wees just talking. Financially we are good. Wifey works and her career is escalating. She works with all the research scientist. Virologist and oncologist and epidemiologists.
I want to go back because the kids on the job need me. And I get bored. And the money can help fund a retirement hobby farm one day. We'll get to test it soon enough as wifey gets her vac complete this weekend. They are making noise that I can start my series soon.

Custom carpentry is one thing... beautiful works of art that's furniture...not cheap and the workman deserves his wages.
Factory made furniture is another. Cheap and serviceable. Nobody actually knows anything about making furniture...they just push buttons and stack wood there... except it isn't real wood. It's presswood/chipwood.
I can buy a kit for making a nice looking desk for under $200. Wifey is sitting at it now. Got all kinds of drawers and trays. Took me a day to put it together. But it's cheap stuff too.
A nice custom desk made out of real wood (usually a hardwood) is going to cost $20,000....not the under $200 I got this one on sale.
And that $200 desk has to be made by someone in a factory for usually minimum wage. The ones that had moving tops so you could change it into a standing desk was more $$.
And I like carpentry... real carpentry. Just never enough time and money to spend on stuff like that.
Besides...I got artisan bread to make, artisan sausages to spice, and leathercrafts to work on. I'm finished with all the gourmet truffles and cookies for the year.
