I like woodworking because to me it's the opposite of coding. Software is pretty complex and hard to explain to people. Concepts are abstract, changes are incremental and it's never really "done". Even if part of it is beautiful, in some short time it'll be outdated and replaced by something else. Woodworking, on the contrary, is something concrete I can touch and hold on my hand. It has practical uses, people can appreciate it and judge its form and function. If done even moderately right it'll last many years or decades. It's really rewarding to be able to point at something you've done yourself, mistakes and all, and see it in daily use. The feeling lasts a whole lot longer than "I've refactored this class into something better".
