Why not? Wood working has become a great way for me to "escape" from the stresses of the day. Headphones, 30 minutes and a random orbital sander might be the cheapest therapy you can buy.

I think I've always had a secret enjoyment of building and creating things, hence the previous career as a mid-level web developer which lead me away from the first chosen career path. (I've since moved onto my 3rd career and I'm pretty sure that building mountain biking features out of wood [like ramps, stairs and jumps] may wind up being the 4th career)

...I'm just not sure it will pay enough to make rent.
