That's because likely for you starting out on power tools would have worked. But as modest as you are in this thread you are - to me at least - clearly extremely gifted and what works for you may not work for us mortals.

Or maybe you only appear to be extremely gifted because of the tools that you use but that's a hard one to prove without a large and preferably controlled experiment.

:-) Thanks, but see my talk above. I'm slowly attempting to build just such controlled experiments. My first exploratory study on such is discussed in the above talk.
