re: History: Woodworking Classes

True, throughout history mankind has had to learn to use new tools as they were invented and CNC machines are just a new addition. My only reservation about this is that there is a certain satisfaction to be had from working with your hands. I am not against CNC or laser engraving machines as an addition to our arsenal of tools, but I do hope that they will not entirely replace hand tools as there is something special about handwork that is beyond the abilities of a machine. A good example of that is that design changes are often made during and ongoing project as ideas occur to the craftsman or artist. A computerized process cannot do that.
