I'm learning and acquiring the tools I need to at least detail strip my firearms. I have a good hollow-ground gunsmith's screwdriver set (well worth the money) and I need to pick up a good pin punch set.
With the right tools, and clear directions, I should be OK. With half-assed tools and an unclear grasp of the concept, I'm a downright menace.
This may not sound like much, but I didn't grow up working on cars or fixing things around the house. I learned how to be a "tool user" as an adult, and it's still a work in progress. (Ask me about the replica 15th Century Crossbow I built sometimes though. It's amazing what you can do under the watchfull eye of someone who knows what their doing..)
