As a teenager (70s) I was into, among other things, assembling balsa wood model airplanes. Does anyone even do that any more ?

It took some patience and some trust in own abilities w.r.t. a long-term goal.



My kid doesn’t have the dexterity (and thus the patience) for it but his best friend is constantly trying to get him to make castles.

Because he’s not interested (and a little jealous I bet), he mentions they could 3d print castles easier (neither own one so I’m not sure it’s a valid argument).


Many of my real life building hobbies died when I realized I could build digital things.
