I got into soap carving for a while. It was super chill, and smells nice. Also good for a NYC apartment, with no room for powertools. It also fits the amount of free time/attention span I have for a project.

yeah, when the baby was on her way we bought a washer dryer, and we threw out our old cabinet/counter and built a cabinet and counter that would fit over the unit. the pocket holes for the joints didnt case too much trouble, and we kept the hand-sawing in the entryway, but using the hand plane to even off the joined 2x4s for the countertop were a little…seismic. We’ll break out the tools when we have to…
