Excellent post! I couldn’t agree more especially as the owner of a few magic tricks. In the past 2 years I have tried really hard to strip away jigs and specialty tools and get back to the roots of woodworking. It is indeed truly joyful. Then you slowly integrate some magic tricks back into the repertoire and you truly appreciate them not just for the convenience but the knowledge that you can do without them if the project situation demands it.

Tico, is a fakebook magic? Cause they are saving my life trying to learn to play guitar.

As a guitarist, I see numbing amounts of magical allures and, as you say, it is easy to seek answers in the wrong places.

I like your point about bringing knowledge from other fields. Organization and procedural skills are a big part of making things in wood or any medium and those are universal skills in the work world.
