Amen! I just love it when "This Old House" shows you how to build a cabinet drawer. At some point they'll usually say something like, "Now I'll just run this through my router/planer/joiner table..." inside a shop as spacious as school gym. Sure; but how do I do it with hand tools in my 8' x 12' shop?
There's an awful lot to be said for those who still know how to use hand tools. I watch a lot of woodworking on You Tube and there are a few who use hand tools almost exclusively and some of it is as beautiful as anything you can do with power tools. The skill is amazing. My Late Uncle had that ability. I wish I had paid more attention in class. Alas, my small shop is full of power tools.
