Woodworking without power tools

Woodworking without power tools involves manually shaping, cutting, and assembling wood using hand tools like saws, chisels, planes, and hammers. It requires skill, precision, and patience to create furniture or other wooden items. Techniques include sawing along marked lines, smoothing surfaces with hand planes, measuring accurately with rulers and squares, and joining pieces using traditional methods like dovetails or nails. This approach emphasizes craftsmanship and control, often resulting in fine, custom pieces. While slower than power tools, it allows for detailed work, greater tactile feedback, and a deep connection to the woodworking process.
