I’m a simple living fan, but I like to make things and for that I always need/want more tools. How has everyone found compromise between simple living and pursuing hobbies like woodworking?

I can't make anything, with tools or without tools. But I think if the tools allow you to create something useful, then I don't see a problem. Gifting someone something that you've made with your own hands is an amazing feeling, both for the giver and the receiver. If you want to balance out the amount of tools, make sure that your life is tidy and minimalist in other areas. Just my two cents.
