Hi Jim. Thanks for the photo. Just a tip on posting - for those of us who are still aspiring shapers and in awe of folk like yourself, it's great to see photos of stages of a job. There is always something to learn from them.

I used to find it a bit of a chore to post photos, but somebody put me onto FastStone Photo Resizer, which will batch reduce a bunch of photos to make them easier to post. Once you have done it a couple of times it will be easier than doing a tuck shrink The resizer can be downloaded from here http://www.faststone.org/download.htm - 4th option on the page, if you don't already have such a gizmo.

Look forward to seeing more when you have the time.
