The joy of handtools

[bugbear]

I found this:


"One thing I do love to do is take the plane of choice, really spend time sharpening the edge, and then edge joint or surface plane the wood I am working on to the nearest I could ever get to perfection."


I somehow can't imagine anyone writing in such glowing terms about a power tool.

One thing I do love to do is take the router of choice, really spend time sharpening the cutter, and then shape the wood I am working on to the nearest I could ever get to perfection.

BB you are right but I also love technical wood machining and spindle work closely followed by book matching veneers or a sun burst table top. To be fare I just love working wood
