New hobby advice
Hi everyone! First post to this group as I am not a woodworker! This is about helping my dad adapt his hobby. My dad has been a woodturner for as long as I’ve been alive. Think bowls, pens, tops, boxes, and the occasional urn. He has done wood carving and burning in the past but never loved it like he does turning. He is now recovering from a year long struggle with a rare lymphoma. He is having trouble finding something to do within his current limitations. He cannot stand for very long (<5 mins) and has slightly limited dexterity in his hands from chemo.
Neither me nor my mom feel comfortable with him walking across our road to his shop and even with a stool at his lathe we are scared of him working with the high RPMs and sharp tools when he is far from his best shape.
Anyways with all that preface, I’m looking for any advice people can give us to recommend a new hobby to him that is maybe more accessible and able to have him able to sit for the majority of the time?
Thank you to any advice that can be given! Anything woodworking adjacent that would feel fulfilling to him. We appreciate anything you can recommend!
