Yeah, My apprenticeship training taught me not to use power tools anyway but when it came time to convert the trawler out on the mooring, power tools just wouldn't cut it.
Funny enough the 2 best tools I had were a Alsynite saw and a Swiss army pocket knife a friend bought me.
The trawler was a huge learning curve, not a square, level plan to be found.
Still using the brace and bit as I had to cut large holes for posts current cabin building project.
