    One thing I might add here: As I grew older (and hopefully wiser) over the years, I began to understand the difference between hobby grade and commercial use tools. Much as Carl notes that the Drake "reputation" may not be the same as the Drake "experience", but I'm still appreciative of the capabilities of a full 7-line setup.

    When I finally wear my last Moto-Tool out it'll be replaced by a Foredom unit. That's another name I remember from back in the day and I'm happy to see them still in business. Pricy little units, though!

That's the guitar phaser effect not the SciFi ray gun sound.

    I was the one that the times said was hyperactive and needed strict and angry discipline. The people of the times were wrong.

    BTW Fred. I hope you don't mind, but you just made the top article on Page 8 of my club newsletter.

    Of course, that means I'll have to explain who DSG is... that's about the only edit I'll need to make!
