And for good reason. They can be inexpensive, they’re quiet, and they require no power. Not to mention the romantic notion that hand tools somehow bring you “closer” to the wood. But hand tools do have a slight (and sometimes great) barrier to entry: they require dexterity and practice. But most folks agree that it is well worth the time investment when you see the level of control hand tools can bring to your work. Here are a few interesting and helpful links on various hand tools and techniques that you might find interesting:
