I have a green apprentice and it’s testing my patience
i consider myself to be a very patient person and i also do love teaching this trade to people, but i currently have a very green to construction in general apprentice. at first i thought it was going to be great, i can get ahead of bad habits and teach him properly. but when im up on a ladder fighting a fitting i didnt anticipate to fight me and i have to coach him where in my bag my tools are bc he doesnt know the name of any of them like seriously any of them lol
ive never worked with anyone this green before. i could very easily do my tasks faster without him, but im under no time pressure so i took him on. what advice do you have for teaching these fresh guys the basics? in my career ive really only been placed with CW or other journeymen.
also anything i can tell him how to cut strut straight bc ive exhausted all pointers i can think of other than just practice lol
ive told him to not let it hurt his confidence, im patient and i cant expect someone who’s never seen a bandsaw before cut strut perfectly straight 😂
