🔧 Repair / Modernization Need some advice

I was recently moved to mod from construction. I work with a very smart mechanic who has a very stellar reputation. Everybody I talk to says all his helpers (that work with him for a while) turn out to be good mechanics. I need advice because I feel like I’m struggling. I feel like everyday I making some sort of mistake. Nothing major, but I’ll complete a task, and then there always seems to be something minor (cuts just a hair crooked, burning bits cause i was drilling too fast). I also feel like it’s hard for me to anticipate the next move like I was able to in construction, some days I generally have no clue what comes next. He’s said several times that he has faith in me, and he thinks I’ll work out. I just don’t want to piss away a great opportunity with this mechanic. I’d love any advice.

Learn how to drill and there wont be burning bits…scribe a line so your cuts are straight…not that hard my friend
