My dad had next to zero mechanical abilities and gave me zero encouragement mechanically. I had to pick it up myself with no help or praise from him. When I graduated from high school I took an eleven month farm mechanics course. That was the first real training I had. I have had to buy every tool I own but I am not complaining about it. Some day the tools will be in my son's hands, in fact most of them are already.
My son is mechanically minded and I have mentored him as he grew up. He now does pretty darned good work and I am proud of it. Two things I instilled into him is to be neat, clean and organized and do the best job you can. One thing I have NOT done is put him down when he makes a mistake. Nobody is perfect. If he makes a mistake the first thing he does is to come to me for advice. It gives me a good feeling of accomplishment.
