Did they build those hand tools by hand? Honest question.

    As in, they won't buy a hammer from the town down the road? Instead they'll cast the metal head, and chop the wood for the handle? Mine their own metal ore? It can't go all the way through.

    Amish restrictions on technologies aren't absolute. They can buy things from "English" companies. Some of them even use mobile phones.[0] [0] http://amishamerica.com/do-amish-use-telephones/ http://amishamerica.com/do-amish-use-telephones/

  Some do this, but (most?) Amish can definitely buy industrially-produced tools. Some even use (non-electric) power tools: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/02/22/172626089/inside-an-amish-trade-show http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/02/22/172626089/insid...
