Hi Rob,

I respect you point of view and I use to feel like you do. But after a life time of working in woods, plasters, clays, plastics, etc. on a time table I retired in my 50's and I was burnt out. The thought of building something made me sick. Just now do I have the thrill back to build something and this board is mostly responsible for it. It is a pleasure for me to put on two strips or four strips a day with out a harsh deadline of having to get something done fast and efficiently. Decorative art is in the eye of the beholder and there are no boundries as I see it.
Take care,

John
