Well for me, probably because I wanted to and it feels productive enough to break away from the other work that keeps me busy.

It’s also nice to have a low stakes hobby, I haven’t made a shed before but spent the last year getting into fixing things (automotive & household items) as well as home improvement.

(Highly recommend getting the basics of car repair, just being able to diagnose a problem will save you so much frustration)

So many times I have had faults with cars, it has turned into long debugging sessions trying to work out what the fault is. Be very careful with intermittent faults: they can drive you mad for months even if your root cause skills are good. It certainly isn’t a relaxing diversion from my normal job.
