Fairly difficult when the mentors and experienced students who would otherwise be doing the teaching were still learning themselves.
The mill was a fairly recent acquisition that the team had not yet had time to learn how to use efficiently, so we made do with the experience we did have.
I agree that using the mill to drill the holes would have been preferable, both in the interest of accuracy and in the interest of teaching skills. As always, it was a matter of utilizing the resources and experience available.
