The hardest part was not getting frustrated at how gentle she
was when driving the screws. She would drive them real slow
and then stop when they bottomed out. She really wasn't driving
them home. I just bought her the drill for Christmas so she hasn't
had a lot of practice.

She's going shopping with SWMBO soon so I'm going to crank them all down
after she leaves. Between the brackets and the screwed down shelf and bench
top it's very solid, but I know that some of the bracket screws are barely tight.
Amazing! After the second screw I'd have instructed her on how to use
the clutch etc etc. Watching 80-100 screws and just letting her continue
on sounds like child abuse to me...

Amazing! It's almost like you were right there while I stood around watching instead
of coaching, teaching, helping. When I didn't explain to her how the clutch would stop
her wrist from twisting. When I purposely didn't tell her that applying pressure in direct
line with the screw would stop the bit from slipping. When I didn't offer to take over
(multiple times) only to have her say "No, not yet. I've got this."

Man, you called it exactly right! Amazing.
