T-Rex: Woodworking is a skill, developed over years of practice and study! And guess what?!
T-Rex: IT IS A SKILL I DO NOT HAVE.
T-Rex: I thought that was FINE. I thought I could skip it! I believed that with a bit of luck, a bit of guile, I truly COULD get through life without ever having to know woodworking!
Dromiceiomimus: But you failed?
T-Rex: I failed, Dromiceiomimus! My cabinet needs new shelves - WOODEN shelves!!
Utahraptor: So pay someone else to make them for you, dude!
T-Rex: NEVER!
T-Rex: If it were a new cabinet then MAYBE, but shelves are EASY - they're just wood rectangles! ANYONE should be able to cut a wood rectangle to size!
Utahraptor: Sounds like this isn't really about woodworking, but rather about ideas of identity and selfhood you've incorporated...
Off panel: ...perhaps as bedrock truths without ever realizing or critically examining them??
T-Rex: Okay, YES, OBVIOUSLY - but fixing THAT stuff will take DECADES!!
T-Rex: Sadly, it's simply easier to learn how to work a wood
