Hi guys, thank you for your replies. It always feels good to hear you're doing something right. I seldom get a chance to show anyone my work except for my wife whose typical responce is "Yeah, it looks like a knife." or "You need to find afriend so you can stop talking to me about knives." So anyway, thanks I appreciate it. -Justin
