<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I'd hoped to provide some
constructive criticism. Apparently I chose the wrong recipient. I
made my jig from photos you supplied and your guidance. Thanks,
BTW.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Rather presumptuous of you
to pass judgment on my shop skills and/or craftsmanship without any basis.
I realize it is easier and takes less effort to dismiss those that disagree
with you or suggest alternatives, than consider their opinions, but it doesn't
further anything, least of all understanding or learning. I'll try to
refrain from commenting on your methods and craftsmanship which I'd guess
you consider to be above criticism.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Your jig wasn't right and your method was flawed. I've used this jig
