I'm not sure if this is up your alley, but I have found that I really enjoy building model ships.
I am currently about a year into my second one (the first one took just under a year to build) and probably have a couple more months before it is completely finished (I work ~3-4 hours per week on it). The kits cost around $100 and come with plans/wood/and hardware and the rest is for you to figure out. It is very relaxing and is really great to see it take shape. I find it very rewarding work - plus you create a really beautiful model that you will be proud of for the rest of your life.
