inPSA: lost a customer's 1846 family bible at the Chicago Print and Bind show because my thread knot slipped, now I wax every knot twice
Double waxing the knot is smart but you also want to check the twist direction on your thread. I had a spool of 18/3 linen that was twisted the wrong way for my normal knot and it slipped every time until a guy at the bindery in Ann Arbor showed me the trick of reversing the loop. Now I test every new spool with a quick yank before I sew a single signature. Wax twice, reverse the twist when needed, and that knot will not move.

inShowerthought: hit 1,000 oil changes logged on my spreadsheet and it got me thinking about the trade
Doubt the log beats good tools, but tracking patterns is smart for sure.
