When I started this thread I was thinking about how we loose tools and methods of work. I like hand tools as much for learning to use them and exploring methods. I enjoy exploring old furniture and old houses, and buildings to see what the inside and the backs look like. It seems to me that for years hand tool workers have been trying to match machine work. In the past there was no machine tool work. Woodworkers tried to match the work of those that did fine work. There is lots to explore in hand “no electrons”tool work .
