What's a craft you'd still trust if the machine could do it better?
I was wrapping leather around a board today and thought about how a machine could probably stitch this faster and straighter than me. But there's something about the hand, about the slight wobble, that the book carries with it. So I'm asking: what's the thing you'd still rather made by hand, even if the machine version came out looking perfect?

Machines can stitch straight, sure, but they never learned the feel of leather warming to your hands. I'd take a hand-tied knot over a crimped ferrule any day — same reason I never trusted a GPS on the fire line. Let the machines do their thing; I'll keep the wobble.
