I'm one of the weekenders I guess, although my weekends can be anytime since I retired a decade & change back up the log of life. But to facilitate some precision in my woodworking for mortise & tenon joinery, I long ago made up an alu bar that I can bolt to the front of the head casting of my cnc'd (using LinuxCNC of course) micromill to mount a cheap die grinder far enough forward and offset to the left, and some jigs to mount the frame sticks in a vice-like setup, wrote a bit of gcode and carved both the tenon on the end of the stick, and its matching mortise. My last such project, for the next door neighbor, was a set of benches with seat backs that double as storage for toys etc for all ages, only had 172 such joints in it. And no, not a pro, but just making the best use of the tools I have. My interests are best described as eclectic I guess. Keeps me out of the bars, is I believe the usual excuse. :) Point being, use the tool you are familiar with.
