Absolutely loads, I'm at it every night!

No internet at home, no social media, no mobile 'phones, no going to the pub, no interest in trashy 'must watch' TV shows, home from work just after 18:00, baby in bed by 19:30, LBC or BBC R3 on the radio, crack on. If you want to do something you can, its all a matter of choices. If you waste your time staring into a little plastic screen watching other people have fun, you'll never have any time to have fun of your own.

It helps to be organised though, tools and parts on hand, a proper space permanently set up as a workshop (I use a spare bedroom, so its nice and warm all year round), service data neatly filed, a plan in your head as to what you want to do. I like to do two or three 'good' repairs a week minimum, plus endless tinkering with other things.
