Hello,
I am new at making furniture and the books ask that we learn the basic skills by hand but I am finding hand tools to be - on the one hand pure and true to the origins of the craft - but on the other hand - very hard to learn to use comfortable - I am ruining a lot of nice stock and its neatly cut edges and surfaces with my tools - is it worth persisting or is woodwork the realm of power tools now?
Thanks!
