Default Tail end of the Pmd hatch

Maybe we should talk about handtools vs. powertools instead. :-)

Well, you gotta at least pick something that is debatable!


I'll start! We just tore down our deck and re-built it, the old
deck having succumbed to a terminal case of dry rot. I suppose that
I could have built it without a reciprocating saw, circular saw,
compound miter saw, cordless electric drill, air compressor and
pneumatic framing nailer, but I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted
to. I will admit to feeling virtuous when I watch a paper thin
shaving curl up out of a handplane, but I don't think that cross
cutting 2x6's with hand saw would give me the same warm fuzzy
feeling, especially not when it's 95 out.

(and yes, I know that building a deck isn't really woodworking...)
