I agree. I find something romantic and inspiring about artists working without powered tools.

not only that, it actually feels good, i mean the feel one gets when slicing thru different metals. at least for me, using the air toys, i cant feel the sensation of going thru the metal. hokey, maybe. but that's just me.

I'm right there with you. It is much more personal to do things without electric tools. I feel the same when forming and cutting metal...using hammers against a tree stump or anvil, a jeweler's saw and more.
