Is it better, somehow, for diy woodworkers to use hand tools or modern machinery? Seemingly there is a controversy around this topic. Some artisans believe that hand made projects are the scope of a true woodworker and that is it somehow "cheating" or less good to accomplish projects using machinery. They point to the woodworkers of yore who created amazing works of art by hand. On the other hand, other woodworkers point out that the woodworkers of olden days were using the most modern tools available to them at the time, so today's woodworker is justified in doing the same. There's quite a discussion about this topic here and there on the Net. In the meantime, the link below goes to a good video. It's the first in a series of three that shows a woodworker making an oak blanket chest. Take note of the discussion underneath the video http://worldtouristdestination.com/lifestyle/woodworking-howto-oak-blanket-chest-part-1-of-3/94416/
