Hi and welcome Zeke - great to see!
As much as you enjoy this already, I think the deeper value will emerge as you get older. Some of the happiest people I know are those who have the ability to make or repair something using their own hands and brain (the two go together).
I have friends stuck in careers who deeply envy what I do all day - the devaluing of manual work over the last three/four generations is beginning to be recognised as having taken away a vital part of our human-ness...
