    tools can’t replace skill but bad tools can absoloutely make something many times harder

    A good craftsman knows the limits of his tools. A great craftsman knows how to make the tools necessary to surpass those limits.

      I dunno a jig saw makes cutting interesting curvy bits about a hundred times faster and its really hard to make one. Yeh you can make simpler stuff to do the same job but nowhere near as easily.
