Back to the Workbench: Rediscovering Creative Crafts in Retirement

For a lot of senior men, there’s a craft somewhere in the past — woodworking in the garage, pottery on weekends, painting before the kids came along — that got set aside during the busy decades and never quite came back. Retirement is the chance to reclaim it. In this episode, we talk about the genuine joy and cognitive benefits of returning to creative crafts in later life, how to choose the right craft for where you are physically and emotionally, and how to set yourself up for success without overcomplicating the start.
