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.

Anyone who doesn't must have lots of time on their hands. Or willing to
work for a pittance.

I remember someone planing by hand, a plank of wood to do in 2 1/2 hours
what a planer thicknesser can do in 45 seconds.


Some people just enjoy doing it, peaceful, relaxing, productive. I'll
stick with power tools though.
