Jesus you come across like one of the whiny apprentices!
You don't recognize the irony of running off with a great long whinge in print, about how hard folks find it to read things?
If you (and the whiny apprentices) spent as much time actually muckling on to practicing and trying what was told or shown, rather than spinning around in a dither trying to find an easier way, you'd all be much better at all sorts of skills that need to be learned and practiced.
Yeah, I did shop in Grade school. I did Trade school to supposedly actually learn this stuff formally, over 20 years after I bought my first lathe, and learned to make it do what I wanted it to do.
I broke parts, I broke tools, I made lousy tools, I made better tools, and eventually I built some skills.
Much, much later, I ended up teaching those skills.
So, whining at length about how different folks learn, isn't really falling on a sympathetic ear here.
I'm pretty sure that after a Cat Video, a video of a Kid Nutting himself on his bike going over a jump, the third video ever posted on the internet was some dude thinking he was solving everyone's problems with thread cutting on a lathe.
I'll stand by my comment earlier. Folks think it's some bloody dark art, and it bloody well isn't. It's a skill that has to be practiced and learned. Dithering around making excuses, just cuts into the time that would otherwise be spent doing so.
Watching someone do it, reading about doing it, frankly, anything other than doing it, isn't building the experience that makes the skill.
. The Rogers Sugar plant seems to smell like antifreeze, though. Whenever I drive by and the wind is right I get worried that my heater core sprung a leak.
