Maybe something very clear..."nonprofessional".Or, for Marv, "abecedarian" (if this is considered a field of learning).

The Germans use "amateur" much as English speakers do but, harking back to my incarceration among the Pennsylvania Dutch, I remember hearing "Stümper" used in that context. Of course, it was also used in the context of bumbler, fumbler, botcher and bungler. Hmm, maybe it's more applicable than I think.

Nice! You are getting a lot of learning in on this one, which is great. Fortunately that one groove can be filled with a little JB Weld or other goop, wont hurt a thing.
