How many professional woodworkers use no or generally no power tools? And by that, I don't mean guys who teach classes and give demos or have blogs. I mean not subsidized by that mickey mouse stuff or any other income.
This is triggered by warren's comment in another thread about a professional woodworker only needing 4 or 5 (bench) planes with one iron per. I've seen warren state before that he doesn't use power tools (even his lathe is unpowered). Warren is the only person I have seen who says this.
There are other bloggers who make stuff on blogs and run around to WIA, etc, but they are generally not selling their work, they're selling some kind of personality and books and classes, etc. When I see those guys work (at a slow pace), I wonder if they could build a piece in a full week in a shop - they are not comparable to the times warren provide for simple joints, turnings, etc.
The balance of most of the rest of the folks who even use hand tools as professionals seem to use them where power tools aren't convenient or to get a look.
Is there anyone other than warren? Maybe some chair makers? (most of those guys give classes if we've heard of them, too).
