You need to think in what it’s exactly that you would like to do. Such as:
-What kinds of jobs do you need to do?
-Do you have store and the space to do this?
-How much money have you got to spend on your own new hobby?

Wherever you keep your workbench/equipment you’ll need electrical outlets to plugin your power tools. Their basements or garages turn into their workshops.
Woodworking does not take as much time as some believe, it is a hobby that you can have when you have a busy life but it does not matter how long it takes you to create something, as long as you are creating. There’s nothing wrong with that if it takes you a whole 8 months to complete one end table. It’s all about whether you are having fun with it and you’re loving your brand-new hobby. You can create and furnish your house, or get a part-time income selling your work.
