My dream shop would be built around a water mill with some machinery hooked up to it and most of the work done by hand.

I've seen a couple of those Ulmia's, a tool dealer friend of mine at the market had a couple... They are nice, and $$$
, I'm happy with some old Stanley's and homemade block planes... Though I did buy a little japanese wooden plane off him for $5 just to realize it cost about $75 new. It's the
9mm Micro-Compass plane with rounded blade... I actually bought it cause I thought it was cute, being so tiny...
With an overhead line drive? Only thing I have that has a leather flat belt is my South Bend lathe...

Isn't that what they've been doing with all software for the past few years? 6 steps to do what you used to in 2 so new people can learn it faster...
