Tom, I'll keep your critical self-judgment in mind if I ever produce any "work". Glad I have limited ambition; won't have to squint as long initially and then squint again at my own painful shortcomings down the road. I just want some workaday nonskid. JC sent me a pic of a narrow riffler or float made out of a power hacksaw blade by Geno. I'm about ready to make one of those Monday and just start checkering. Don't need no stinkin tools! Thanks for the hints, fellows. I'll give some thought to whether I can do everything I need to with one carbide bit and the Brownell handle.
