I HATE winter, I got into the restoration part of the hobby as a suggestion to help keep me occupied because of seasonal depression. I gotta say 2 years in a row now Im constantly tinkering with something and Ive been the happiest that I can remember thanks to working on pins. But with my last project and my current project, the timing is off for me because I want to paint the cabinet and I cant. So I end up getting obsessive and taking things apart that aren't even broke just to clean them. Or wet sand every single piece of metal I can touch just to feel like I'm being productive. I swear if the company I work for merges with a company in the southwest, I'll move at the drop of a hat. I envy you "year-around" project guys.
