I have a very funny and true story about one of my 1st experiences with power tools.

I was always a good student. In Junior High School, a required course for boys back then was metal shop. I did not do well, probably because of my fear of power tools. In fact, I got a D in metal shop. My father was furious, not at me but at the metal shop teacher for giving me such a poor grade. LOL.

The next day, my father drove me to school, parked the car, marched in to my metal shop class, and told the teacher he was a horse's xxxx for giving me a D and ruining my average. LMAO.

My fear of power tools and general lack of natural talent at using tools and making things related to model railroading hobby is a major reason why I say, " If I can do it, you can do it." Arnold
