What hobby seems fascinating to most people but is actually boring if you dive into it?

Funnily enough down the line I want to learn some woodworking for my costume - make a legit wood stock for my blaster props.

Have you looked into 3D printing? You could just print a blaster out in pieces.

And still spend hours sanding

We're just discussing which flavor of sanding you want to do

Most definitely but I think it's a lot more straight forward to shape complicated parts than with wood.

Sure, 3D printed part’s definitely have their place, but my goal is eventually “better than screen accurate” - metal armour, wood stocks, metal blaster fittings, etc.
