I'm quite impressed with my can opener
Hurricane, I hear ya man... except ironically i get that feeling when using power tools and imagining the TRUE craftsmen who did things by hand back in the day. Talk about respect. With how spoiled we are with technology now, its rare to even find real craftsmen now. I wish that apprenticeship and stuff were more common these days instead of all the money-driven schools that teach a watered down, generic version of "skills". That kind of craft, perfection and art is dying off pretty quick...shame really. But i tip my hat to the work you do.

I understand what you mean...but, I guaran-freakin'-tee you Thomas Chippendale or anyone of his era would drop their old hand saw for a Powermatic any day.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
