Swanky, where do you work? You're gonna be my new best friend. Lake, thanks for the advice. I think you're right about CAD. It's not really the best for manipulating graphics. It's just what I'm used to because I use it every day. I'll probably try to get a trial version of Adobe Illustrator & see what it can do. Tikifreak & Ben, thanks guys. I have a real respect for this chainsaw tipped beasty. I'd like to keep all of my appendages for now. Gary, have you used the "Squire"? Is that a smaller version of the "Lancelot"? If so, it would probably work really well for detail. At least rough detail. Ben, you're right. Harbor freight sells a lot of junk with some quality stuff mixed in. Surfintiki, thanks for the link. That Lee Valley wheel sounds a little more stable. And it's solid, which sounds better that using something with a chain. After I wear this one out maybe I'll try it. I'll try to get some pics up after the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for all the great advice! Cheers! Aaron "Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing!
