This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ooooh. That reminds me of a funny coincidence. When I did my woodworking I only used japanese tools because they always felt natural to me. The maintenance and sharpening to me was easier than western tools (of which are generally said to be easier).

Even complicated procedures came naturally with little practice, and basic maintenance on western tools rarely "clicked". I talked to my mother about this and i learned my great grandfather in japan was a carpenter, and would have used the same exact tools i was "familiar" with.
