If sanding took even 10% of my time I'd give up the hobby. Fortunately my girlfriend loves that kind of mindless work and does all the finishing that's more than "slap some BLO on it and call it good."

I crochet and weaving in loose ends / tying up works is the 90%, but I love making shit for myself every once in awhile and I can cut all the corners I want and just tie a knot and call it a day lol I feel you
