Seems like a lot of people are in the same boat.
Work 52-53 hours week (just five days now, thank goodness). Unfortunately, it is second shift and I leave at noon and get home at midnight. Chores and such in the morning, worn out after getting home, and hungry. Not sure the neighbors would put up with the grinder at 1:00 am either. My wife is away from home all week, and gets home late Friday night. Saturdays I get a few hours in the garage, but since I do not see the wife during the week, I try to make up for it on Saturday afternoons and evenings. Sundays I get a few hours as well, so I say I get 5-6 hours a week, which isn't much, and certainly not enough.
Good news though, as my schedule will change do to a promotion and I will have normal hours for the first time in almost 3 years. With the new schedule it looks like I may get to double my time in the garage, and achieve some goals I have set for myself in 2013.
As said above, it is a hobby for me as well, and taking time away from my wife to do my hobby is cheating the both of us. Chasing rainbows is a problem as well for me, as knife making has opened my mind to other crafty things, delving into cultures and their knife culture, etc...
