I started woodworking again last year; something I took a decade break from due to space and money. I still don't have enough space for all the machines, but after thinking about it I decided that this time I would work with hand tools.
I find it fascinating how much my perspective has changed. In the past I felt that hand tools were past their time since they are slower and require skill while machines require thinking first and skill second. Now I am well into my engineering career and I am happy to do something that does not scale and does not require anything electric.
If you are interested in woodworking but don't have much space you can try hand tools. They still need an area that you can make quite messy, but that area can be only a few square meters.
Here are a few photos of my "shop" [1], it is situated at the step between my office and the rest of the house.
