It’s a poor carpenter who blames his tools

Russian equivalent of this idiom sounds like "skillful surgeon helps a bad dancer". Even though it sounds confusing, what it really means is "a bad dancer blames his balls"
It’s a poorer carpenter who uses a can of beans as a hammer. Pros are responsible for choosing appropriate tools.
