I struggled at first, but I read what people had posted on here, asked a few questions, got advice on equipment (although I did find that equipment came down to preference in the end) I am by no means a pro yet but I am working on it. the long and short of it all is that practice makes perfect, and the lads on here are very helpful, some are willing to take us new boys out for a few days if you ask.

no need if your happy, but you could have three blokes doing the same job covering 6 peoples work.

I must say it is quite nice to do a little trad work every now and again, we were trad for years before turning over to wfp, would I go back, not a chance

Read read and read some more, watch videos on youtube to see how its held.

Everyone does it differently and takes months to get the flow right, then comes speed.

stick at it, took me 2 months of doing it everyday before i could do it at a decent pace and to a acceptable finish
