dlotraf,

I feel the same as you. When I see the work the pros (and semi pros) on this board turn out I am embarrassed to post my progress; the Lord only knows why I do. However, the more I work at it the better I get, and seeing the work of others, yes, yours too, encourages me to strive to get even better. Don't give up on the machining part, I got my machine tools after 60 and love using the increased capabilities of my shop. Keep up the good work.

Jack.
