If you don't like hand tools, the song of a sharp plane, and need to

he does.

I like Roy, his show, appreciate what he does, and the fact that he is
also one of the nicest guys around ... but what do you reckon his response
would be if I told him that he, and one partner, must build, to designer
spec, 28 wall and base cabinets, 20 dovetailed drawers, 6 shop built
pullouts, 60 doors/drawer fronts, associated shelving, and install them in
a precise dimensioned location in 30 days of work?

Methinks the lad would quickly grab for a tailed tool or two, or more ...

Often our trueness to our Normite/Neander philosophy depends upon whether
you need to make a living at it or not.

....or you're messing with sheet goods and paint. ;~)
