    Very nice, when I was a young boy I saw a man powered shop that a guy built himself. It was so interesting. It was set into the side of a sand hill near the banks of lake Sam Rayburn, most of the shop was underground with the roof only extending above the earth a few feet. His name was Oscar and he was a remarkable craftsman that could build anything. He had a tablesaw, bandsaw, lathe, and a drill press if memory serves me correct. I was amazed and loved his shop.

    Hi, Chris. How are you? This machine is very interesting. I didn't quite understand how it is operated. Do you need two people to work with her?

    I don't want to say anything bad, this is just a question:
    Why do you refuse to use power tools? Why is it better for you to spend way more time and effort with something that can be done much more easily? In my view, if the end result is exactly the same, but you can achieve it much easier and more efficiently, why would you choose the harder way? It just doesn't make sense. Our ancestort would have used powertools for woodworking if they've had the technology back then

    • @ChopWithChris

      Thanks for the question. Woodworking is a hobby for me. I like to challenge my mind and body to make things using no electrical power tools. It is a stress relief from my day job and keeps me in shape. All my projects things that I want, not need so there is no deadline to complete them. If had to make money doing woodworking the of course I would use power tools.
