                    "I want's" don't get;
                    "Can I have" is greedy.
                    ;) :heehee:

                      Good grief :doh: ... if that is your attempt at "ain't perfect - ain't v good at wood work" ... I shudder to think at what you can achieve when you *are* good at woodwork!!!
                      Don't hide under a bushel: that is cracking work! :thumbsup:
