I started with power tools and have a small shop behind my home with a table saw, 2 bandsaws, jointer, drill press, power tool jigs for mortise, tenons and evening a power hand planer among other tools. I only recently started the more fulfilling use of hand tools and for a time ignored the power solution in favor of developing hand tool skills. However, I now integrate the two to get the best of both worlds. I use my band saw to cut certain cuts like the back support for a chair (but only after I’d done it a few times by hand methods. It’s a useful tool for a predominately hand tool oriented workshop. A 14” that can take up to 1/2” blade is really all you need. I love the pleasure I get from hand crafting my projects. Too many machine solutions take the personality out of your finished product.
