Yes - I think he became a bit of a convert to doing guitar carves with hand tools the past couple of years. I guess having the luxury of time to do it once his business got up to speed helped a lot.
His early videos (before the tool porn wall - back in his shed) he used to attack almost everything (guitar bodys and necks) with a grinder with a flap disk on it. It was all a bit stressful to watch at times!

I've only recently discovered his channel and am still working through the back catalogue. I know he's put in a lot of graft to get there but his current set up "I only do the stuff I find interesting and let other people run my business" is the stuff dreams are made of!
I don't really get the whole power carving thing, yes it's quicker but things go matchstick shaped in the blink of an eye. Plus as far as I can see it's problematic using what is essentially a plane blade spinning at 1000s of rpm with a guard so a trip to a&e could also happen very easily!

Seen one of them on Ben Crowe's wall of tool porn but from what I've seen of his videos he does most of his shaping by chip carving and sanding or with a shinawa saw rasp.
