i will certainly do that :-) thanks very much for the tip, I'm signing up as soon as I'm done typing this reply! i gotta say, I'm really impressed with the community atmosphere here... it's comforting to know as I play with 3000 RPMs I'll have at least a bit of mentoring in my pocket. i was a bit intimidated at the prospect of messing with expensive tools and exotic woods with absolutely no guidance... I'm also a musician, so my fingers are kinda important to me.. the thought of them getting bitten off by a spinning chunk of wood is pretty daunting lol
