First you worried over designs, then over cove and bead vs rolling bevels, then stapled vs stapleless, and then the worries over glass and epoxy.

One of these days you're going to realize that these things are simple to build. About that time we'll warm up a chair for you at the regular meetings of the addicted. Remember, the cure is in the epoxy.

Glad to see the glassing went well for you. It is always nice to have a second or third pair of hands to assist at this stage. Obvously a person woprking alone will do this a bit slower, and should therefore use smaller batches of resin.
