I will go little bit off-topic here, but regarding your question, I would, carpentry sounds very interesting and engaging. What I would miss would be the nice salary that comes with working in SW.
They average $76,000/year, which is not that bad depending on where you live. You can do better than that, as much of the industry is slowed down during the winter months. The few that I know take that layoff as a yearly winter vacation.
