If you are a full time professional smith you need to be producing 100$ of product an hour. Most customers do not care how time consuming activities like tapering a hinge are done so if you can replace hiring a human striker with a 3000-5000$ power hammer it is a better business decision. Peter does most of his work at the anvil with a hand hammer just look at episode 3013 of the wood wrights shop for a good video
