My old mentor in Boise told me to never quench a hot punch directly in water, but after snapping three of them last month, I finally listened and started letting them air cool on the anvil.

Has anyone else had a stubborn piece of advice they ignored for way too long?

My grandpa told me to always check the oil before a long trip. I blew a motor on I-84 ignoring that for years. Some advice is stubborn for a good reason.

What took you so long?

Honestly eva_adams68, waiting ten minutes isn't a big deal. People act like every delay is a major crisis. Tbh it's just not that serious.
