  Woodworking using only hand tools can be a remarkably space-efficient and neighbour-friendly pastime. I started out that hobby making little projects, mainly using a few unpowered tools (plus a cordless drill) in an area the size of a small writing desk.

    Is it possible to do that indoors? I live in an apartment.
