How Did You Get into Woodworking?

I have been in the woodworking world for a long time. I got into it for family reasons…I was cheap labor in my dad’s shop. But the reasons that folks get into woodworking are legion. I know several folks who bought a house, started to fix it up and then just kept making things from wood. Recently I’ve met people who were just looking to do something with their hands and decided to try woodworking.
