Carl-E:
Now I'm wondering whose shoulder that ball joint was taken from...

Sorflakne:
A dremel for smoothing a ball joint?  Maybe it's just me, but using a dremel for that would be more complicated than using a disk sander.

In the hands of a skilled person, even a concrete saw csn be used for smoothing out a ball joint.

She really should be sharing her vises.

BenRG:
I think that this is the arc when Faye realises that one of the most stressful jobs in existence is trainer. There is absolutely no upper limit to the stupidity and lack of common sense of novices. This is especially the case when, as I am sure is the case with Sam, they feel that they are being unfairly restricted to 'training wheels' when they know they have the intrinsic skill and ability to use the most complicated tools and technology on their first attempt!

Faye hasn't selected the best tool for the job. She's selected what she believes is the safest tool that she can start Sam on with the objective of one day qualifying to the concrete saw.

There is also a subtle psychological test here. If Sam can stick with working with the dremel without getting bored and wandering off, then she's got the mindset to move on to bigger things. However, if she does fail at this level, then there is no point humouring her desire to work power tools any further.
