Except for sanders. If you use one of them for a bit, you'll have no problem signing away an organ or two to Festool. And the dust collector, of course. Maybe a Domino joiner. But other than that, you don't have to give them all of your disposable income for your power tool needs.

Watch enough of hand tool videos and soon you will be hand planing and scraping instead of finish sanding.

Buying the sander and dust collector would probably be cheaper than all those hand planes, but there is something in that fine smoothing plane shaving that keeps you coming back.

I just looked up the Domino joiner. It looks amazing, but good lord, it's $1500 after you add in the different sized cutters.
