Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...
Some end of year/start of new year type stuff has me fully occupied at work, and now I'm heading for a much needed vacation in a few days. I should be back into the swing of things towards the end of the month.
I did make a little progress though, I set up a bench. Previously I'd been working from my couch on an end table (not including the potting compound removal!) Still, my wife hasn't been overly impressed... LOL.
