You could consider ditching (most of) the power tools and just do hand-tool woodworking. Much quieter, less sawdust and mess, relaxing (usually) and much lower possibility of losing a finger.
- wccrawford 2y agoI'm not sure I have the time and patience to get good at the hand tools. I'd love to be Rex Krueger and cut perfectly square ends all the time, but I'm simply not that into it. The power tools are a shortcut to getting a good-enough cut. I have actually pulled out normal saws and done my best a few times in the last year, because I didn't want to make a ton of noise early in the morning... But they were just utilitarian cuts, no matter how I tried. Absolutely nothing to brag about.
