A wise framebuilder once told me that it is a good idea to have a hobby other than framebuilding so one doesn't burn out and can switch mental processes to re-energize.
Thats why I have taken up blacksmithing, nothing like belting the hell out of hot steel after a big day/week of the super tight miters and tiny tolerances of the bike frame world.
Plus it warms up my workshop which has barely got above 0 degress at all this week
