My coping saw was liberated and then promptly broken by a child, so I'm fresh out.
Yeah the coping saw was my favorite as a kid as well. So much so my dad bought a scroll saw for us to play with.

Routers have always scared me a bit. My dad had one of those huge 2hp plunge ones from the sixties and it would eat anything.

I cope stuff infrequently enough, because like fly, i hate it, that when i do I use the scroll saw with the tilting table.

Its more of an artsy thing, which is why i hate it.

Got a google nest doorbell. But the outside of the house has a brick wall that makes attaching anything to it hard.

So I tried doing things the fancy way using PHOTOGRAMMETRY!

Because if I make a MESH of the brick wall, I can 3D PRINT a mount that pushes up all perfectly against the brick! So I made a MESH!

But then got fed up trying to make this mesh work in Fusion360, OpenSCAD or anything. I've never worked with meshes and don't have a damn clue what I'm at.

Then I remembered there's a woodworking shop in the basement here. Grabbed a chunk of old hardwood floor out of the scrap bin, ran it through the jointer a bunch of times to clean it up and make it the right size, put a bunch of holes in it, stained it with 'fruitwood' stain and finished it with some satin urethane.

Bam, motherfucker.

I mean it's fancy but you could've just use masonry anchors
