Don't ever feel that way Greg. *There are (and have been in the past...)
some killer woodworkers here. *Then, there have been some hacks (present
company included...) that can produce an occassional decent piece of work..
All though share a common interest in this activity and that's what it's
about. *Some of us do some other things that aren't really even woodworking
related, but can sometimes offer insights - in the end, it's all just a
boy's club that's all about the fun of it. *Well - except for Robert - he
has been showing some peculiar interests of late, so I'd advise you to watch
out for him...

Don't worry. I am terribly proud of myself, and not just for the
result, but also for puzzling out solutions for each of the problems
that came up during the project. I think I have a pretty realistic
assessment of my skill level, and what I need to improve on. I've
learned a good bit recently, and I intend to use that learning to make
better mistakes in the future.

Thanks for the encouragement.
