    Depending on where you live, you might look into maker spaces. They don't necessarily have all of the tools you might want, but they give you a place to work. Echoing another comment here for metal working, silver smithing and gold smithing (along with any small work on brass or copper) can generally be done in the space of a small desk, and you can get started for a couple hundred dollars in my experience.

    For the past couple of years, my biggest hobbies have revolved around metal working, in some form or another. But pretty much anything to do with creating something, being outdoors, or medieval reenactment will get me pretty excited.

    I find this really interesting. I haven't heard of people building keyboards before, but spent a bit of time looking it up. What got you involved in building keyboards?

    Reamde, by Neal Stephenson. It is my second time reading it, and it is about hackers, hit squads, and MMORPGs, in the confines of a world much like our own.

    It begins with a beautifully imagined game, and then uses it to delve into the very non-videogame world of covert deals, hidden code, viruses, ransom money, and spycraft. It is one of my all time favorite novels, and I think that it does a wonderful job of appealing to both the tech-savvy, and the action based crowds.

    Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new book to read. It is mainly set in the Pacific North West (Canada and the USA) but it also spends a lot of time in China, with people (legally in this world) farming characters to sell for real world money. It does a great job of bringing up interesting topics of online currency, story writing, business management, and a lot of other topics too.
