Modern cars are incredibly complex and car engineering/manufacturing has really complex lifecycles. It is quite difficult to make an analogy with a thing that requires a lot of analogies to in the first place to explain.

Carpentry/woodworking is somewhat simple. With a saw, planer, router, sander and a few primitive hand tools you can finish most woodworking projects. Most of the complexity of woodworking is in the accuracy/quality. Woodworking is simply easy to be conceptually* familiar with.
