Thanks for the thoughts everyone. The information in those books is obviously to be taken with a grain of salt, but sometimes it seems there are hidden gems in them and finding them is the hard part....

Hi there. I'm fairly new to the world of hand tools and traditional style woodworking. As a farmer/homesteader I've always been one to make most things that I've needed, just always did it with power...
