Morning,

I've tried master lins x-rhea a couple times but didn't quite get what I wanted which is to make it look like his. I really appreciate when the how tos get posted, alot of times the thing a guy gets hung up on, when he sees how the process should go is usually a DOH! Moment cuz it's obvious really but its the skilled craftsmen with the capacity for abstract thought that outline the steps in such a natural progression that make it so obvious once witnessed. Thank you Lin and thank you Stuart. I really enjoyed this little diddy and am invigorated to go take another stab at it.

Thanks to all who took part in getting this demo online. What a fantastic learning tool.

Very enjoyable & educational.

Great video. Thanks for posting it, Dan, and thanks for sharing your knowledge, Lin.
