Overheard a young guy at the lumberyard say he'd never used a hand plane

It made me think about how much we rely on power tools now. I learned to square stock with a No. 5 Stanley before I ever touched a jointer. Anyone else still keep a hand plane in their kit for certain jobs?

That's like a carpenter never using a hammer.

But is a hammer really that important for every single job?

My friend tried hanging a picture with a shoe once.
