EdBru, my pattern seems to be to build something as carefully and with as much thought (drinking a beer and staring at it) as I can. Then finish it to as high a level as possible followed by neglecting and beating the crap out of it for ever after. Repeating as necessary as long as my interest holds out. Right now I am at the beginning of a cycle.......
Definately support the idea of a thinking chair, preferably a rocker and a place to put the beer down. Would really like to have the border collie at my feet but did not want to get epoxy dust in his fur.
Happy Thanksgivnncah to all
