You can find all the problems of Software in Woodworking, except that sometimes, using an axe is a legal and well-suited move.

You would basically never use an axe in woodworking. It's widely considered bad practice, produces unstable results, and there are better tools available

I use an axe and a draw knife on logs. This closes the pores and helps preserve the wood longer than if you put a sander on it.

Well, I mean you could use an adze or a froe. Axes are really common in green woodworking (chair making) and they’re great for getting wood to split along the grain.

Including the questioning of the tools you use, and people telling you "you're doing it wrong".
