Isn't it funny how we find the perfect video for a problem, then can never track it down again when someone asks? Happens to me all the time.

Yeah, feels like a different trade now compared to the old bulk.

Sure a new blade fixes everything? A fresh blade is just the start. Bad technique or a shaky hand will still wreck your cut on tricky material. That scratch was probably a combo of a dull blade and rushing the job. You need the right tool plus focus on how you use it. Cutting corners on either one gets expensive fast.

But what if you look at something so much that you start seeing it wrong? I get what @noah_kelly23 is saying, but staring at anything for a week straight can make your brain go weird with it... You stop seeing what's actually good and just get stuck on tiny details that don't matter. It becomes more about copying what you saw than making your own thing. Sometimes you need to step away and let your head clear.
