I'm a developer currently saving for a year long carpentry course. I shall be leaving this rat-race for my own workshop just as soon as I can. Wow, good for you for having the courage to do it.

I'm in a similar situation. I still enjoy coding, but I'm very tired of the office environment. I've had thoughts along the same lines, except I'm looking into writing. It's complex trying to get out of coding, but I hope I can within a year or so. Good luck man. I’m in a similar situation. I still enjoy coding, but I’m very tired of the office environment.

Frank: I would really love to come and join, or at least check out your school, but I live in Estonia. And that means I'm on the other side of Mother Earth. Thanks everybody for your great comments!

Started horseshoeing with an experienced mentor. Later, I became an ornamental ironsmith, toolsmith, and maker of architectural hardware. I opened a blacksmithing school in 1970 in Santa Fe, where I offer short courses. Come join us? I left Occidental Life, L.A., commuting on the Harbor Freeway every work day.

Good luck with that. That is pretty cool that you are quitting your day job to do something that you find more fulfilling. I am glad that you decided to keep track of your trials and triumphs. Anyway, this is a cool idea for a blog. I think I may be reading your blog. Cool. Good luck with that.

My dad's a blacksmith (www.turleyforge.com) and I'm a software developer. However, I am planning to be a teacher eventually, not a blacksmith. But you are absolutely correct to follow what you love. If you can get away from the whole material desires thing, then you are on your way to being free and happy. Sweet!
