3d printing: heard about it from a friend and started looking into it. Got hooked.
Laser etching/cutting: next logical step fron 3d peinting. Started researching. Got hooked.
Homebrewing: got hooked on craft beers as opposed to crap big brews. It’s expensive as hell so I started researching. Got hooked.
Moral of the story: careful what you research. You may get hooked.
“Easy” being relative… 3d printing. Especially with modern printers. Leather working is easier than i thought although i won’t say I’m awesome at it. Probably the easiest thing i’ve learned is homebrewing. 90% is cleaning. Outside of that if you can boil water you can brew. Extract kits make it super easy. From there you can go all grain or stick ti extracts. Or if you want super easy, go mead. Honey, water, yeast. That’s it.
