There is no magic

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I would daresay this adage also applies to craftsmanship. What I can do with a plane or a saw or a chisel would be, to 25-year-old me, a miracle. What some people can so with carving tools or a lathe is, to 33-year-old me, absolute witchcraft.

And that is why we practice and toil. So that we can be the sorcerers of tomorrow.
