Thanks for the tips, albiet your first 3 are just "work" for me - i'm a software developer. If i'm gonna spend time coding I may as well be doing it for money, although that 3d printer idea isn't bad. I do plan to buy a couple of slightly crashed side-by-sides on copart and import them here (polaris rzr or maverick x3) and restore them, a 3d printer there might be useful, as well as maybe a plastic welder.
I have been meaning to do the beer thing, but that also requires slightly higher temperatures if i'm not mistaken and I don't know if my wife will appreciate the smell that must generate. I grow stuff outside in the garden in summer. I have considered woodworking too and I have many power tools for it - just no room at the moment. We're building a big 9m x 4,5m shed in the back of the property in a couple of weeks, might be viable then.

Super cool. I don't know if there is a relevant subverse for that here but I personally love the build threads people used to post to e.g. v/welding et.al on OG Voat. I'd follow along if you cared to share.

Depends on the yeast and what you are brewing. Lagers like it cold.
> appreciate the smell that must generate
I used to do this with my dad growing up. Once it's in the carboy, fermentation itself really has no smell (I don't remember any smell, anyway). You will put a vent on it that has a water seal, like a sink or toilet trap.
> just no room at the moment.
One of my buddies built a large mega-deluxe workbench (e.g. the miter saw is mounted to a flip-top so it can be rotated into the bench when he isn't using it. The whole thing is on wheels and he just wheels it out of the garage into the driveway when he is working. Good for socializing too.
I feel like i'd be alot more active if it the weather in europe wasn't horrible and grey for 7 months out of the year.
The thing with those SXS is that they are pretty simple machines - today I replaced muffler and swapped the wheels in 2 hours, 1 of which was spent on a hex screw I stripped. I'm trying to avoid anything that would need welding and stick with something that requires mechanical work or suspension. The whole vehicle is basically stuff bolted to a tube frame so for that to be bent someone would have had to drive it off a cliff. Lots of fun too if you ever consider picking one up - my maverick has 172hp in 700kg, it's supercar fast off the line.
