Jim,
I was reading your profile..Don't you just hate teachers like that ??? A slap on the back can do wonders for any beginning woodworker and really encourage them to do more and do better…while a slap in the face can do wonders also…only in the opposite direction. VERY glad you decide to start woodworking again….by looking at all of your projects, I bet you the "Student" passed the "Teacher" long ago.
