Tuesday Puzzle

OK, this is complicated, but bear with me. Each word in the numbered list can be related to a word in the Lettered list by the following:

A synonym of the word in the numbered list is a homonym of a synonym of the word in the lettered list. example: bucket relates to light

Bucket has synonym Pail, which is a homonym of pale which is a synonym of light. Clear as mud?

OK. Relate these words:

1. crimson A. locale
2. elk B. gawk
3. pair C. scorch
4. soothsayer D. darling
5. step E. also

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

May be missing something, but I cannot relate your reply to the answers.

IF ( and that's a big "if") I did it right, then when you convert each of the numerals in my answer to the letter matched with it in the answer, it should make sense (with the one missing letter and numeral obviously paired).

I used the "word" 23461 in a sentence.

2 in the left-hand column is matched with D in the right column

3 in the left-hand column is matched with E in the right column
