Definitely not the setting to be doing woodwork, condo, and all. Using one's own hands to construct something is always so fulfilling. Working with wood, and really taking in all of the beauty it has to offer becomes a passion.

It is really neat to take a tree in the forest, cut it down, mill it, let it air dry for a year or two, and then turn it into something extra special. You're right, that is badass @cmplxty.
Gathering all of the tools and learning the fine art of woodworking takes some time and a little money, but it is a hobby you can take to your grave.
