An old timer in Nashville showed me his bone folder trick
I was at a shop in Nashville last month, killing time between orders, and this 70 year old finisher let me watch him work. He used a worn down bone folder, the kind most folks would pitch, and he said the secret is to let the tool age with you. He told me 'it's not the fancy press, it's how long your hands have known the job.' That hit different because I've been chasing new gear for 8 years, and here he was with a 40 year old folder getting cleaner creases than I get with anything modern. Has anyone else had a moment like that where the simplest tool made you rethink your whole approach?

Had the same thing with a beat up old screwdriver my dad gave me, still works better than anything new.
