There are plenty of after hours woodworking classes etc that you can take.
Alternatively I've taught myself fine woodworking and furniture makingfrom a variety of sources including youtube - it does help that i possess many of the required tools already as part of my day job.
You don't need to work towards formal qualifications to get good at something.

I'd add it's also something I'd like to do generally. My grandad did a woodworking course after the war and built all sorts of things for my dad and uncle. He'd grown up on a farm and was pretty handy, but still the idea always stayed with me.
