Am I the only one who still hand-solders some connectors out of habit?
Honestly, I picked this up from an old timer who insisted on perfect joints. With modern crimp tools everywhere, it feels like a lost art. Ngl, it's saved me a few times when parts were scarce.

Sharpening tools by hand feels more precise than electric sharpeners most days.

Totally get this. I've noticed the same thing with fixing stuff around the house, where the old way of doing something just works better or feels more solid. It's like we're keeping these little bits of know-how alive even when the new tools are supposed to make them useless. What other skills have you held onto like that?

Those bits of know-how, like robinson.quinn's sharpening, keep hand planes beating sanders.
