[SEL] Please critique

[Steve Royster]

Now Curt, Please reconsider . Most of us GEM readers are just back yard 
tinkerers and never will be as  good as Tommy or Craig, but we all can learn 
a lot by articles like yours. I've never had any machine shop lessons at 
all, I just blunder my way along and somehow get by. So send that in to 
Richard  right now.  Steve
