nice to see a young guy wanting to work.  listen man, i think you have a pretty good understanding of what your doing, but there is a lack of patience getting in your way.  im guilty of it too, i get in a rush for no reason and i end up having something in every bow that bothers me.  i know you're young, and i try to remember being your age (and believe me, you are being way way more constructive at your age than i was), but dude i would really love to see you take a piece of GOOD wood, not a board, or an iffy tree branch you found, but a nice stave (save your lunch money or something) and TAKE YOUR TIME on it... not an hour, not a day.... a MONTH!  and get some sandpaper or a cabinet scraper.  I challenge you to make a finished bow. one that someone can hold up in the sunlight and turn it over and over and say "wow! You made that?!" .   i haven't seen all your bows, or all your threads, but ive seen many, and i think maybe it wouldn't kill you to ask advice or opinions at different stages of a build, and take the advice.   hope you accept my challenge, and good luck to ya.

now that you have a job you can learn one of the most important things you will need, a good work ethic, work hard, fast, keep quiet unless you have a ? , and work safe  ;)
X2. Also don't be late. Show 10 minutes early ever time and you will get treated better right off the bat. Good luck kid

Yep, early is good
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Good luck on the new job, Squirrely! Remember, .....The less you think you know, the more you will learn.   That's what it's all about , Fella! The smartest people are the ones that never stop learning. When do you start?  Btw. ... The pain will diminish as you get used to the work , so don't give up just because you come home sore for the first few weeks ;)
