Houdee Lysdexic,
You must have a heck of a spell checker, as your namesake is not perceivable from reading your notes. Could it be a mathematics disorder?
I was bumping around looking at mallets as I have the pieces of one scattered around my garage workbench. (Played a bit with a little bandsaw last night after the last playoff game). You speak of being a newbie, but sa I followed your mallet to your page I'd like to say that I find all your work exquisite.
I have to say I just wish. It's all good however, I'll keep at it and though not as retentive as yours ( a slight twist on the OCD thang), I will post my mallet upon completion. Keep up the good work. Please know that there is no intent on disrespecting at all but rather the opposite, just not adequately verbalized as neither am I wood or word smith. A lysdexic might understand.
Best Regards, Mario
