inJust changed my mind about using a water based topcoat on walnut after reading a study from the University of Tennessee's wood science program
Yeah, that study had me worried too. Good catch by @anna_fox7 on the stain vs topcoat thing. I was about to scrap my whole project.

inHot take: I swore by my old climbing line for a decade, but after a buddy in Seattle made me try a 24-strand double-braid for a week, the difference in grip and wear on my hands was night and day.
Switched from steel to aluminum carabiners for weight.

inMy lead at the Denver hangar called my torque sequence 'good enough' and it bugged me for weeks
Yeah I read this article once about how those "overkill" steps are often written in after a crash... like someone missed a nut and the whole thing came apart later. So now we all have to point and count, even if it feels silly. It's not about doubting your skill, it's about making sure a tired brain on a Friday afternoon doesn't skip something.
