Just realized that my old mentor's way of folding signatures is still the best method...

Wait what, they used a bone folder for that? Honestly I had no idea people still did that by hand. Tbh I thought all that kind of stuff was done by machine now. It's crazy to think about putting that much care into every single fold. I only ever see those tools in like, one fancy craft store. It really is a lost art.

TIL my garage cleanup showed how my storage habits changed over time

Jake's garage was a nightmare before he labeled his storage bins. He wasted a whole Saturday looking for a specific wrench set buried in an unmarked container. A piece of tape and a sharpie would have saved him an afternoon.

Fixed weird static by finding a lunch foil piece

Dumb fixes like that are why I always check connections first before replacing anything.

I finally learned why you never rush a color correction session

My buddy Jake tried to fix his cousin's black box dye in one go last month. He said the same thing happened, patchy lift that took two extra appointments to fix.

Warning: I stopped inspecting my saw blades before each cut

Come on, that sounds like overkill to me. I only check my blades when I feel the cut start to pull or the finish looks off. You learn to listen to your tools. Doing it every single morning is a waste of good work time for no real gain. That oak job just taught you your own limit, not a new rule for everyone. I'd go nuts if I did a full tool check like that every day.
