Gee Ron, I'm flattered by your faith in my abilities. And while it is true that I'm a very clever guy and would have eventually turned out a workable block, even in the absence of a band saw, paying Terry's reasonable fee was a much better use of my resources, limited by many tunings and other such diversions. Were things not nearly so busy, I would more likely be in my "show that jerk" mode.
