I apologize if this subject has been already addressed... but how many of us practice and have the skills, tools, and know-how to understand traditional hand-tool woodworking?
I've built a very few chairs from foraged lumber and have gone from axe-to-tree while producing something useful... Ideally, I'd like to create one thing after another by hand -- furnish my home and ultimately be able to provide everything necessary inside.
Have any of you built your own home? Do any of you practice the skills of traditional, hand-tooled woodcraft?
