Malty: More Tramp then Lady
I’m jealous of time of Home Economics and Wood Shop. Not only do I not know how to sew, cook or make the prefect martini. But I have dated men who has also unless when I need them to do manly things, like build me something. Sure they can troubleshoot my tech issues or build me a website but what…
This is my whole issue with America today … we don’t do anything we used to be awesome at. Thank god I grew up a country boy with woodshop class and a pops who loved old cars and fixing shit himself. I didn’t appreciate it then, but now it’s my favorite leisure activity … I buy old furniture stuffs, or old industrial tools, fix them up and use them, repurpose them, or sell them to jerks who just want to make their apartment look cool. Either way, the hobby pays for itself, and in the process, this good ol’ boy gets back to the basics of building stuff with your hands.
I’m working on making a bed frame out of an old factory push cart right now. Should be pretty dope when it’s finished in a few months.
