SNIP idiot remarks from ****wit Firth

After years of hammering noises and electric planers, routers,
circular saws etc, the neighbours would have gone deaf or moved away
by now.

That's very very true. It seems to be the norm nowadays that
woodworkers, be they carpenter- or joiner-type, are expected to use
power tools rather than proper craftsman tools, contributing much to
carbon-type waste of the planet.

Its down to time, which is nowadays the most expensive component of a
project. Nobody can plane, cut or drill better than a properly set up
machine anyway.

Aside from which, if Hepplewhite, Sheraton & Chippendale had access to
electric routers etc they would have bloody well used them & been thankful.
