I got laid off and knew I did not want a desk job anymore. I took what skills I had woodworking/web development and started a business. Its called Stump Crafters I build "stumps" to hammer nails in to its a pretty fun game and is not as dumb as it sounds. The game is in much the same vein as Cornhole, washers or other backyard games. I even made a custom Node.js for a local meet-up group I go to often. https://stumpcrafters.com/pages/custom I have not fully bailed on IT yet. But I don't think I will be touching any code in another few months. Now I spend most of my time working in the shop and running the store. It's awesome.

Your stumps reminded me of a challenge of skill called "hunker hauser". Might be a different audience/market for a similar product.

Thats looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to have to make a set and try it out.
