Overuse of machine tools?
Hello.
I've watched this ng for quite some while and enjoy it immensely. Some of the US stuff is not too relevant to UK, but I get the drift. I'm, I suppose, a recreational woodworker. Have been so for 45 years. Decent workshop equipped with all the tools I need. I do it for pleasure, knowledge and recreation. Not, or very rarely, for monetary gain. In short I enjoy what I do and I enjoy doing it. In essence my time is not money, it's enjoyment. I was taught how to work wood using hand tools. Reading posts on this ng, you guys have power tools for just about anything and everything. I'm not in the slightest envious because I enjoy what I do. And I'm getting too damned old. Do you ever use hand tools? A few things I really like about this ng: 1) few bad tempered rants. 2) Rob H's 'what is it'. 3) Good and well informed folk. 4) Very useful tips and hints. 5) General bonhomie. I'll go and look for my old tin hat and hide beneath the parapet. Good luck to all, Nick. |
