All my work nowadays consists of making architect design schemes, project scopes, and other maybe highly important but nonmaterial things. And with all that engineering work in IT, sometimes I just like to "work with my hands", to tinker with things and to see something substantial to come out. It's like that subtle wish almost every computer artist have (with all painters, photoshops and ungodly wacom thingies), to paint with natural oil and brush.
