Thank you everyone for the welcome. It is appreciated to know that I have passed a bit of info onto other people.
I have said this many times before, I am not a super being that knows everything. All I do is relay the information I have gathered thru years of experience, in a format that hopefully most people can understand. Please remember, I am allowed to be wrong a few times as well, and like to be told when I am, just so that I can put the files straight in my head.
There are usually many ways to skin a cat, so my way is not the gospel, and might not suit everyone, if it does, great, if not, then it will be up to other members to put you on the straight and narrow.
But above all, a bit of advice.
Keep smiling and always work to the best of your ability. If you do that, no one can ever say you didn't try.
If things ever get too much, don't lose your temper, put the job away, maybe for many months, while you gain more experience, then come back to it when you feel you are ready.
No one but yourself should have a say in how fast or well you should work, this is a hobby, and as such, you should do things at the pace and standard you are happy with.
But most of all, be happy and proud with what you are doing. No matter what you are attemping to achieve, you are an unique artisan, doing things that other people can only dream about, from carving a simple clothes line peg to a full blown hot rod.
