The main problem, as I see it, is hand made is a sliding scale from
Dig the ore, forge the tools, cut the lumber, make the item for full galoot
to
AI Bot designs and builds the item for full machine made
You could put a case in for anything before the Bot being handmade.
And even some outliers like Ikea furniture is handmade because the buyer assembles it themselves by hand.
Trouble is - where do you draw the line?
Is it handmade if you use a CNC?
How about power tools?
What if you just use hand tools, but design it in Sketchup?
