I am not a carpenter by profession but i've been making woodworks since i was kid. Some furnitures for our house but nowadays mostly fixing and repairing vintage furnitures my wife carries here from estate auctions and second hand stores. Every now and then there's parts missing so i have to make new ones.
Although electric tools are handy and fast, specially when you use them for living i rather use old hand tools whenever it's reasonable. I have several vintage planes and chisels that belonged to my grandfather. I honestly think that they are far more better than modern electric tools. Modern tools, be it hand tool or electric have no such high quality standards than the ones they used to make back centuries ago. Besides i enjoy working with my hands. And just like with straight razors, it takes a huge learning curve to use them correctly and i think the more i learn there's more still to learn. For some reason i respect much more things that i've made with hand tools rather than electric noise machines.
