Vent: realized I was sanding my drawer boxes all wrong for 8 years

Used to sand everything in the same direction as the grain, thinking that was the only way. Tried cross-grain sanding on a job last fall for a client in Denver and never looked back, it cut my finishing time by half. Anyone else have that moment where you found out your basic technique was just... not it?

My buddy Mike spent a decade sanding cabinets the wrong way until his boss finally showed him the trick, lol.

Spent a decade sanding cabinets the wrong way" haha, that's rough but also kinda funny. Did he ever figure out what he was doing wrong or did it just click when the boss stepped in?
