A great Chinese proverb...:
"The workman who would do his work well should first sharpen his tools"

I think in this case, most of us who would like to DO something handy, or are simply just BEWILDERED by everyone's ideas and magazines, need to firstly  ... FIND  your tools!!!

Well, I'm doing the finding and scratching...

see you later in a few weeks
see what you can dig up
