The real skills of how to go about only come with experience of doing it and if you are really really lucky being able to watch a craftsman over a long period, cos they cant tell you as it seems to obvious to them!Grumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206412404319011602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-70709181809695521702009-05-01T13:53:00.000-07:002009-05-01T13:53:00.000-07:00Hi Hazel, hope you're ok, I've been reading this b...Hi Hazel, hope you're ok, I've been reading this blog but have to ask... what exactly is it you're building and what does/ will it do?!?<br />xxSteph Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774582839721072627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-54940142800176909422009-05-01T13:47:00.000-07:002009-05-01T13:47:00.000-07:00Hi Renoir, thanks for the (frequent) feedback.

I took in a lot of what Dad did/does, but it never occurred to me that HOW he did it was a question I should ask. I did know you should start power tools before approaching your workpiece though.
