I finally stopped sharpening my saws dry after 12 years

Guy I was helping on a job in Austin said I was burning the teeth and handed me a little oiler. Now my cuts take half the effort and I feel dumb for not figuring that out sooner. Anybody else find out late that they were missing a simple trick?

Hate that feeling when you realize you've been making things harder for yourself for years. At least you figured it out eventually, better late than never.

Totally get what you're saying. For years I was driving ten extra minutes to avoid a left turn that I thought was too dangerous, but it turns out the timing was fine in the morning. I'd do this loop every single day until a coworker pointed out I could just go straight through. Now I save like 15 minutes a day. Stuff like that really makes you feel stupid when you finally see it.
