He felt the same way and his shop(s) in the US were 
fully equipped with modern tools. He did the home made 
tools and equipment while traveling to 3rd world 
countries. He was primarily a wood and stone carver and 
never knew what he'd find that struck his fancy so he 
traveled without carving tools and made them to order.

What I like about the book is the way he improvised 
shops from found materials. It strikes close to home 
for me. <grin>
