I did construction throughout college.

I spent one summer as a carpenter’s assistant. One of my most important duties was to watch him and have tools ready to use.

The Skil saw should be near by and plugged in. If he reached for something it better be plugged in.

An experienced assistant learns the work routine and what is needed. They shouldn’t require a constant stream of instructions.
