About 1/2 a step above that- my problem the last 18 months is I have NO time for "fun stuff" and am often running around like a chicken with no head. Looking forward to my new assistant starting whom I hope is more capable of working unsupervised than the last one... then maybe I can back to what I want to do, shoot stuff and experiment with parts/pieces- although this is looking unlikely (a couple announcements will be following by the end of February on what's new for me, and for everyone else).

So- if my next 'project' turns out a bit 'off'- you'll know why. I did get a lathe a couple years back, so now I can at least put out straight pieces!
