Ergo - roughly 3/4th's of the stuff you have done so far would scare the bejeebers out of me! Props to you...I might have tried some of this stuff years ago when I was younger, but I'm old now and can't see squat lol. Looking forward to the next installation!

Oh man, I ain't no young'un either. And I can't see fer ****. I alternate between no glasses (for up close), computer glasses (for stuff at arms length) and regular glasses (for everything else). I'm always finding myself halfway across the shop with the wrong glasses on. Sheeeit!

But thank you. Truth be told, I closed my eyes and plunged forward, trying not to think about the consequences. Now I'm so far into it my only option is to finish this thing or die trying.

Fear of failure is a good motivator. That, and I will never hear the end of it from my wife if I don't get this thing back together.
