In Response To: Strip: Hello, and a question (Paul Russell)

Every builder, book, and class, will explain a different work method depending on the background, experience and goals of that person. More sources could confuse. But you might compare methods and ask for specific advise on this board.

Anyone can write a book and become an "Expert" in an obscure area of endeavor. Who will know if the information is good or not. Just because it is in a book, or class, does not mean you should stop thinking and asking questions. Each source may have solved a common problem and repeated other problems.

Many people skim instructions and "know how to do it" very quickly, and repeat common mistakes. Common errors can be avoided, if we find out what those problems are, and ask "how are they avoided?"

Since the advent of internet ideas can be compared and questioned, but you must be able to decide, or ask questions to find out, which will be best for you.

Solutions to problems are easy. Coming up with a solution which doesn't create three new problems is the trick!

If you take the time to read the sources available to you, and carefully consider and compare the ideas, you may be able to simplify the work and concentrate on creative choices.

A good question to ask on this BB is "What are the common problems?"

Here are a few of my ideas on the subject. http://www.laughingloon.com/shop.tips.html

All the best,
Rob
