I live in a two-story apartment. I live upstairs in one of the two units. I have three absolutely wonderful neighbors in this building. Everybody is very respectful of one another. Yes occasionally we get a little bit loud but not too bad. When I had my house years ago I was able to do all the woodworking I wanted to in my garage. Here now I can't because I don't want to make all that racket with a table saw or miter saw etc. I do a little bit with hand saws but the stuff I really want to do just make so much racket. Short of making a soundproof area at a half my bedroom I can't think of any other way to still do woodworking here in the apartment. #diy source
