Are you primarily a hand tool woodworker? For the first fifteen years or so I avoided hand tools like the plague. Over the last five years I have been moving more towards hand tools and I find I enjoy woodworking a lot more.

Yes for the most part. I have a small bandsaw and a (powered) lathe, and a drill press. I have a small space so large power tools are not really an option and I enjoy hand tools far more anyway. Sometimes I see videos of woodworking and the machines make it look so easy, but then I think about the noise, the dust, the cost of the machines, and the likelihood of getting hurt. It’s much more relaxing to work by hand.
