Visiting an Amish shop has me debating hand tools against power tools.

Hand tools offer precision, but power tools speed up production. What's your take?

Totally get what you mean about the precision. I just finished a small woodworking project using only hand tools, and the quiet focus was really satisfying.

But have you tried using power tools with that same level of focus? I find a router or table saw needs just as much careful attention. It's really about the person, not the tool.
