Today I was working on the "Art Bar" (a project for my church to have a table at bar height for art), and I realized that I am very much a proponent for hand tools. When you make a mistake with a power tool, there is no fixing it... Hand tools may take longer to complete the project, but cheap power tools can destroy all your hard work if you let them.
If you start a cut crooked with a powered circular saw, it WILL be crooked. With a handsaw, it can be corrected very easily with just a minor nick in the wood. I just think that hand tools are highly underrated and deserve more credit than they're given.
