You make furniture with airplanes, saws, chisels and hammers.
Drawing a picture means using a pencil on paper.
Gardening is done on one end of the shovel and on the ground at the other end.
Processing metal parts with lathe and drilling machine.
Writing was done with pen and ink, or, at the time --
A typewriter that uses fake paper.
The computer changes it all by adding step 2 or step 3.
