As a kid I used to do wood sawing projects at school. Later on, part of the cirriculum of a particular school, I attented a 4 hour class per week called &#8216;Algemene technieken&#8217; (which translates into &#8216;General techniques&#8217;). You know, those where the sessions even the smartest of the smartest of the class had to attend, to learn the practical skills of making <em>soup<\/em> from scratch (cooking), creating candle holders (metal working) and making gazillions of bookstands (wood working). I will (and dare) not to mention which kinds of things we made during sowing lessons.\n<\/p>\n<p>At that age, I must have predetermined that wood working was not meant for me, because there was a talent for math and other scientific stuff in me, and as I told in the previous paragraph, I ended up to become <em>so<\/em> a programmer. Quite a difference in life I would have had, if I had actually enjoyed cutting stuff out of wood.\n<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I just got tired of cutting bookstands. Yeehaw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a small home improvement project, we decided to buy some lumber: On the spot I decided to afford myself a genuine jigsaw.
