Rossr Report post Posted January 31 I'm always amazed at how supportive this community is and helpful. Thank you! I think lile most makers I'm critical of my work and only see the problems or mistakes. So it's quite humbling to read comments other makers say about what I do. Most days I feel like I'm far away from quality work. Best Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
