It would be cool to be able to do some kind of wood working course where you only use hand tools. Also it would include learning the proper care of tools. And how to care for the finished item long-term would be useful too.

If you hate certain parts you can sub in a power tool later, no problem, do whatever you want, but I think it would be cool to learn this way to start with.

There aren't any wood working courses here of any type anymore ever since the government stopped subsidising community evening courses, so I guess fantasising over the specifics is a bit pointless.

Its weird that there's certain skills that you can only really learn at school, if you go to the right school, or from friends/family. (or on your own, the slowest method)
