[Neil K Walk]

Thanks, Mary and Bob!

Mary: you're right about taking it slow. I should also qualify that there were many backward steps and I've had a lot of support - and help - from many many people, including you and Tim. I really have to give credit to John Kitchen for enabling me to do this in the first place.

Bob: FWIW it's not cheating at all to build a kit - or to take a class for that matter. When I've been in over my head I've turned to others for help or used serviced parts. While I'm proud of this little project I'm just as proud of the mistakes and am not ashamed of the blems all that much.
