I don't think I would, at least not to anywhere near the extent I am at

would be able to do in a crude manner. It would drive me nuts.
Frustration would reign. Does that make me a true Normite? (sigh) I
guess it does!

Since I consider myself, at best, a slightly better than average
woodworker who is fortunate to have been in a position to acquire
great tools to compensate, maybe not. If everything were "manual" the
more artistic types would prevail and those of us who are not talented
in that way might be frustrated.
