I really like making stuff out of wood. There is something soothing about working with my hands, in silence, for long periods. And then there is the periodic thrill of using the table saw or a router and risking gross bodily injury. As time goes on I'm learning to appreciate hand tools more and more. The fact is that you can fit everything you need for a masterwork in a small suitcase, if you go hand tools.
I'm not very good at it all so I have yet to make much that I'd call "fine furniture." But I have done a ton of utility stuff around the house and honestly my favorite thing to build in the shop is more things for the shop: benches, jigs, etc. Those just have to work - they don't have to look nice.
One of my goals in life is to have a wood shop in my garage
All I can say is, marry accordingly ;)
