Hand tools vs power tools for beginners

I have mostly power tools and I don't see myself putting them totally aside.

However the more I get into woodworking the more I want to branch out to hand tools. There's something about watching someone use a hand plane and seeing a long curl springing from it that intrigues me.

Its also a good thing to keep the old traditions and methods alive.

For my purposes a well equipped shop will have power and hand tools.

As far as your shop goes, do what makes you happy. That's the whole point of it.
