    I was very subtle.......I set the gifkins web site as the home page on her computer, admired every dovetail that I saw, offered to allow the kids to buy into the pressie........ sat her down and spent three hours convincing her that if I didn't have a Gifkins jig i would pine away and die (Could have been a mistake that one!)

    Anyhoot, got it now, covered it with sawdust already so it's officially mine!
    Catch ya later,

    Nice pick up.

    (but no HB from me )
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
