This channel provides all the information i quite literally had to fight (hand to hand) to learn.

      Good on you mate, sounds like you're doing well. I'm 22 myself and I've been working as a mechanics apprentice for a few months, real rough industry but I love it so far. I figured out pretty quick a good way to earn some points with the older blokes is to volunteer to do the bits of the job that are uncomfortable, annoying, painful or just gross. If you've got any tips for someone new to the industry I'd appreciate it.

      @@areminderofwhatweare I don't watch sports and have zero interest in playing basketball, but if it isn't against the rules, go for it. Do basketball teams not pass the ball to a person waiting in a good location to easily get the ball in the net? I would bet the way the game is started would prevent you from doing what you described if you were a single player. If players on a team don't do that, then it is either not possible or practical or against rules....there are plenty of people out there just to win. I do watch Cleetus McFarland (for the mechanics, story, and characters/people, not really the racing) where they do what they can to win races and they have run their car with no coolant on a hurt engine and gambled further damaging it to win the race or set a new record. It depends on the players' goals. I compete in shooting competitions where I have to decide how I want to tackle a course of fire and there are sometimes shortcuts you can use that do not break the rules but require creative thinking or planning. Each course will have directions and /or requirements that vary and a big part of the game is for each shooter to decide what order and method to use to get the hits as fast as possible to have the fastest time.

One way to test a new tech on basic ground testing that I always did to my apprentices, was to wrap tape around the ground post on the battery and have them tell me why the car won't start. To really get them trying to think and not just assume stuff.

    I'm a young mechanic barely getting into it about 5 years ago when I made it my mission to get my grandpa's 1982 f100 running after he passed away. It hurt me watching rot on the driveway so I decided to watch CZcams videos and get ford literature to look at. It brings joy hearing that engine crank and try to run in fact I have that feeling in my throat like crying while writing this comment because it reminds me of when I finally got my grandpa's truck to run after such a long time. Going from very little knowledge to knowing as much as I know now is proof that you can learn so much from just jumping into working on a project vehicle. Working with your hands and having that drive to get something done.
