"New tools make the craftsman lazy, causing us to forget how to cope the corner of moldings and how to nail things so they hold. Too many times I have seen carpenters nail a gapped board an extra 10 times instead of making the cut right the first time. Instead of approaching a job wondering how-to, we go in wondering if we have a tool for it. . .The future of fine quality in architecture production is reliant on quality craftsmen. The machine will dumb down architecture, limiting creativity and making quality too expensive."

—Brent Hull, owner, Hull Historical
