I am a knowledgeworker. I defenitely find myself more and more doing things by hand. I own a tractor, mulcher, chain saw by now (just to name the more massive machinerey besides the ton of small machines)

I like doing things by hand. But I am generally a hard working man, by hand or when using my head.

Two observations:either work can become obsessive. When you start working with your hands for leasure, this can become a burden on it's own. But even more so: I do not need to make living out of carrying for my land. And: the grass looks always greener on the other side of the river!
