Well, considering all the "stuff" and tools I've bought for my shop, primarily just to make the very small item of pens, then I must be VERY talented! [

Who would have thought it would take a lathe, DP, DC, grinder, sander, umpteen million small power tools, non-power tools, and supplies out the ying-yang, to make something about 5 inches long. I've apparently got some MAJOR talent. [

] Now that Mannie has shown me what talent I have, I may have to let it go to my head and start acting like a snob! [^][^]
Of course, since there's the fact that no one is actually telling me about how this works, and making me show that my talent is growing, I suppose you could argue that the stuff I have doesn't reflect a growth in talent, but why would I support that argument?? [}
