/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>It's like framing a house with fancy wood

In south America, they frame out with purpleheart because its plentiful. What's your definition of fancy? This is all pine 2x and shitty red oak ply from Home Depot. I'f you are refering to the lay out then i would agree that the pattern is slightly unnescasary at first sight, but it actually does have purpose.

>Yeah you may know it looks good but it's besides the fact that it is absolutely pointless

This is true of a great many things. I don't know about the rest of you, but i choose to be out in the shop because i enjoy it. I could watch tv and waste my checks on games and food all day and probably be just fine, but that sounds super shitty. DIY isn't a get rich quick scheme, it isn't a required skill set, it isn't a cheat code for cheap assholes, and it often isn't self sustaining (financially, anyway). Most of the things/activities people enjoy are just dopamine inducers, but it doesn't mean we have to abstain from it all.
