Had a chat with a frame builder at the Philly show that's stuck with me

He said 'A mechanic who can't true a wheel by feel is just a parts swapper.' I've been using a dial gauge for so long, I forgot what the spokes sound like when they're right. Anyone else get called out on a basic skill they let get rusty?

My shop teacher in high school said the same thing.

Mine told me I was a walking safety violation, @park.iris. He wasn't wrong.
