I totally understand the not being that good at it.
I'm a automation engineer, I work with computers....so fixing things is something I'm getting better at.
I've had some help over the years, mostly in the encouragement to give it a go. I have some memorable moments, such as my father-in-law helping to fix a scotia that wasn't quite the right shape. He looks at me and says "I think I can fix that with my chainsaw", then proceeds to shape the wood using his chainsaw to fit perfectly in the slot, will less than a mm of tolerance.
