For me, there are two ways to look at this:
1) never start gun engraving until you're good enough (and you may never start!)
-or-
2) engrave the gun, and learn from your mistakes. Nothing improves you faster than seeing your own mistakes. You won't make the same mistake over again.
You have to put yourself out there 200% sometimes, and the result isn't always perfect. But you improve with each and every task. If I thought I'd wait until I was good enough to do the job, I'd never be able feed myself or keep a roof over my head. You must take the challenges as they come, and do the best you can with them.
You must work within your abilities, but always stretch for the next rung. Challenge and grow your skills slowly and thoughtfully.
