When you frist started cutting did you have problems?? all in all i think im doubting my slef and dont know what to. what do you think?

Answer
Hey Mark don't doubt yourself or give up and do not be discouraged, like anything else in life it takes time and plenty of practice to be good at it. you will find the more you cut the better you will get and that you will be able to do things that you did not think you could do as far as cutting. you will still struggle from time to time as you progress, but that is apart of becoming good remember the key is practice every area often practice makes progress! To answer your question I struggled as well even when I first started in the shop everyone else cuts was coming out sharp and crisp and mine looked just that a hair cut nothing to brag about but I told myself I will learn every area and the more I did them the better I became.
