Old-world use of hand tools

[Dave Bagwill]

This thread might belong somewhere else on the forum, but for a look at how much can be done (I'm not saying SHOULD be done - it's up to the individual) with 'simply' hand tools, check out the series of pictures down this page. I've been corresponding with the luthier about some things, and just emailed him to see if he uses any power tools at all, or even sandpaper for that matter.
In any case this is interesting and educational. enjoy.
