Yeah, thanks!

These are good counterpoints people should hear.

I definitely use both kinds of tools.

Part of my position is that I was surprised at how efficient and accurate I'm able to be with a Dozuki hand-saw and chisels for dovetail joints.

I'd say hand-tools are more about the process and machine tools are more about the outcome.

I'd encourage people to choose a direction based on their interest, rather than budget (which I didn't say before).
