I have seen a lot of my coworkers go into woodworking since 2020, and I can certainly see the appeal. Software is often so abstract and never truly tangible(in the sense that I can sit in it or hold it in my hands, and I mean the actual software, not the hardware its built on top of). It is extremely satisfying to build something out of a piece of wood and hold it/use it. To get started you really only need a hand plane, some chisels, clamps, and something to measure with...and add to your arsenal from there. On the flip side...my manager has been working on the same chest of drawers for what seems about 3 years now...so its a journey!
