What methods work for you?
Stress balls, jogging, screaming at the sky??

How about a good old fashioned sucker punch?

5 lb sledge and destroy some shit laying around, works wonders.

Immersing myself in a movie works.

Music too.

I forge knives.
Beating on hot steel is very good therapy.

Beating on hot steel versus making saw dust...tough choice

DAB...”Making saw dust”

spent some time in my shop yesterday and today, making some door trim for the guesthouse boiler room. relaxing to bevel the board's edges by hand, and not use my router.

but i don't retreat there to escape "stress". if I'm tired or stressed (rarely stressed), i certainly don't go play with power tools.

Sucker punching someone would be completely unsatisfying. Getting up in the face of an asshole who totally deserves it, shouting them down until they feel they either have to cower in fear, or punch me in the face, them deciding to punch me in the face, and me blocking and countering resulting in their unconsciousness, would be minimally satisfying.

Seems like you’ve thought about this quite a bit......

Generally, there hasn't been a lot of thought involved. I either react, or I don't. I guess that's why there isn't a whole lot of satisfaction involved. :shrug:

Back in the day when I smoked having a cigarette would help to relieve stress. Now playing some good old rock or when the weather good take my vette out for a country drive.:cert:

Torque and recoil do it for me. Either hunting where there is actually the chance of killing something tasty or at the range punching paper. I equally enjoy tuning them up, building a pet load and even breaking them down and cleaning after.

I like to drive down to Galveston and ride the ferry to and from Bolivar. You can walk on and stand at the bow both ways, or you can go to the upper deck. Fresh, sea air, birds, usually see a few porpoises.....it's relaxing, and just kind of puts things in perspective.

Reading UD threads does it for me. The humor is always great.
