Once you get a bit more time on your hands, you'll soon develop your skills. As a matter of interest, do you have a project in hand right now? Even if you're reluctant to post a picture, I'd love to hear about it. Gill (who's keeping quiet about her chopper project having fallen from a high shelf whilst the finish was curing )
