What's your personal life like, OP? Woodworking also sounds like it'd be pretty fun. I'd want to make a mask or two if I ever got into that. That or maybe try and make super strong shields. NileRed did a whole video before trying to make stronger, compressed wood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CglNRNrMFGM
Although with wood that tough you'd probably want power tools to work with it B^). As an armchair psychologist also I prescribe some cute videos for you to watch. Oxytocin helps with depression.
>What kind of activity were you trying to do?
Too many to count, but the most recent one I've been interested in is trying to make a kind of dark ecosphere using electric bacteria as the basis of the food chain. The kind of DC power supply that I'd need though would be like 200$ though. The idea is that I'd selectively breed something like geobacter to actively tolerate oxygen better and hopefully even consume sugars with oxygen by adjusting how often the power source is on. They can already fixate carbon(take up CO2 to use to make things), so as far as I'm aware they should be able to push out oxygen as an eventual waste product in a CO2 rich atmosphere without much stuff for them to eat, other than electricity. I have some ideas for testing if they would produce oxygen too, with their chamber being sealed and then using some check valves to pump CO2 into their chamber and some of the gas from their chamber out into another sealed chamber. Then I'd just use an electrode to try and ignite the paper. If it only smolders then I know there isn't much if any oxygen, but if it makes a full on fire then it's definitely producing oxygen.

A tip I heard for writing stories was to make a whole plot skeleton. Basically like a little with a simplified version of all of the events in your story and pointing to the order/how they affect each other. What's your story about though, anon?
