Wood carving is cool, it relaxes me and clears the darkness that work puts it my mind, however?
However, I also play the guitar and secretly go metal detecting, my friends and family find my carving highly amusing, when you sell ‘porta cabins’ for a living you really need something to take your mind away to somewhere else, hopefully one day I can jack in my job and travel around the world earning a living by busking and selling my carved lizards (which are my speciality) but I will carve just about anything, and apart from when the neighbours complained about the snow storm of wood chips that have been blowing around the street I have harmed no-one! So I ask what is so wrong with this?, why am i ridiculed or am I just deluded?

Because your friends and family lack imagination and ambition. Good for you, I wish you every success in achieving your ambition mate.

Well you could mulch the wood carvings and then offer them to people in your area as compost. I would love to take up carving. The idea of whittling wood seems a meaningful thing to me. Don’t give up the dream.

You are probably ridiculed because they would be boiling over with jealousy if you actually did manage to bugger off and do what you want.
I bet they’re secretly jealous now, bet they can’t carve a lizard.
When I told my ex-wife I wanted to stop selling excavators and move into care work she threatened me with divorce. My reply was “OK divorce me”. Now I’m a manager in a home for autistic adolescents, and happily single!
