Generally when you get into a second or third area of expertise - say you know woodworking and start sewing or pottery - you notice how many general good practices (planning well, keeping workplace organized, doing test pieces, working with jigs, etc) apply to the new thing. And you notice how a lot of techniques or problems have analogues.

So, on the other hand: was/is there anything where being skilled in a different area lead to false assumptions and problems? Did you have to "un-learn" certain good practices and habits because they weren't useful or downright detrimental in a different craft?

Bigger hammer works well when metalworking. Not so much with electronics.

Not OP but I've had the inverse happen by dipping into different things as needed for DIY'ing different things in my life. Different crafts hold onto too much boneheaded BS due to tradition and lack of cross-pollination between crafts, between sub-fields in a craft, and between pro/hobbyist realms.

HSS, even chinese HSS, isn't standard among hand tools for some boneheaded reason unless you import from china.

People still perpetuate the stropping meme when it doesn't do anything for wood tools.

A router with carbide or properly sharpened cutters is a decent budget replacement for a mill on soft metals and soft stone.

You can build a cross slide onto a wood lathe and mess with a jackshaft or different step pulleys instead of buying a harbor freight plastic gear'd chinese metal lathe.

You can turn small pieces of metal with handheld tools similar to gravers to get fancy semi-organic shapes, like for crank handles.

I know some glass-working and at some point I tried pottery (classic clay pottery, that is).
I was amazed how difficult, messy and less fun it is — for a product inferior in pretty much every way.
