Yes. You learned how to make biscuits. I started baking at 7 and cooked for the harvest hands by myself when I was 13. I was a better cook than the teacher. I was also a better seamstress. I learned carpentry from my brother and have done all the finish work in our two homes. Had to. Champagne taste, beer budget.
Very impressive! My husband says, I have a champagne taste and no wallet🤣 He asks, why do you always have to have the best? Me: I picked you didn’t I? Don’t question why I want the best!
When I did this, it was very unusual for woman to take command of power tools. I am not physically strong enough to handle full pieces of wall board but I can finish to a 5 and do patches. I was good at geometry and can visualize how pieces of standard molding go together for elaborate crown molding and wainscoting. I have built closet storrage systems and built in book shelves and painting, of course. Some framing. In all candor, sewing requires more skill. Arthritis prevents delicate hand work but I can weild my favorite power nail gun. I know. More info than anyone wants to know. Sorry
And put metal, wood and automotive shops back in high schools.
