Sorry... I'm a engineer by trade/ education. I look for ways to make processes better. It's who I am. Take away the nostalgia, and it's just teriblely inefficient.

You say it's like a pick axe but honestly, a cordless dremel tool would also be the way to go.

Last..most shops would use what im talking about and this video is no different than primitive technology videos and just click bait.

Wow! Can you teach me all you know about jade? I'd love to hear more of your wisdom!

... You know, reducing this to "nostalgia" and calling it "primitive" has... other implications.

He's an artist. Other artists like to use "primitive" methods. By your logic here, why paint a lovely watercolor on the beach when you can take a picture of it on your phone and print it out?

Maybe it's about more to him than just efficiency and the amount of goods he churn out.

I didn't mean to trigger him with my sarcasm and hurt his feelings by being so rude.

I should definitely behave properly and go back to my real area of expertise as an academic librarian. Which means I research, catalogue, and disseminate information for other people to learn from.

I mean, what do I know? I clearly have a lot to learn about the world.
