Look, in some cases getting to market fast is the only way to stay alive. You can patch things up after launch if you have to. Losing a big client because you were late hurts way more than fixing a few bugs.

Ugh, just trying to fold the thing back up, @wren_smith40. You finally get it unfolded and then it's a battle you can't win. The real kicker is that paper ones are always out of date, so you follow a route right into some new road construction or a one-way street.

My old shop teacher insisted on a thumb nail test to check for dullness before any sharpening. If the edge slides on your nail, it's time for the stones (it's a quick way to avoid over-sharpening). I do a few passes on a medium grit, then move to a fine stone for a polish. The leather strop with compound is what really gets it hair-shaving sharp, though. That keen edge lets you feel the wood instead of fighting the tool.
