My personal experience is limited to assembling furniture (setting up my 3 ikea billy bookcases while my husband was out of town was quite a chore--I now consider myself an ikea expert btw)
but I assisted my husband in building our raised veggie planter.
I've built a few small things (a plant stand, some wall shelves), but I wouldn't say "I can hold my own when it comes to lumber and power tools." I aim to be, though - I loved exploring my
dad's (very basic) workshop when I was little and I'd love to be able to build a playhouse for my kids or a simple piece of furniture.
I've built a number of things by the time was a teenager but took my game to a whole new level when I did an AmeriCorps program in Montana... I learned to work with natural materials there
for government agencies and even got on an alternative building project doing some straw-bale construction and other less resource intensive methods.
