Had a chat with an old boilermaker in Houston that threw me off

Ngl, I was working a shutdown at a refinery outside Houston last month and this guy in his 70s comes up while I'm grinding a bead. He says, 'Son, you're gonna be using that file more than that grinder in 20 years.' At first I laughed, but then he showed me how he preps his edges with just a hand file and it's cleaner than anything I've done with a power tool. Tbh it made me rethink how much I lean on speed over precision. Anyone else ever have an old timer drop something simple like that on you?

Old school always knows something we forgot.

And a hand file never kicks sparks into your face.
