Craig Ryan: I've been practicing for a while. Obviously I've got a good while to go. That being said, I think I probably don't have the patience to go through quite that long a time-frame. My plan is to practice until I have a pretty good idea of what it looks like when things work. Then make a frame... then ride it for a bit, see what I want to change... then cut it in half and hang the drive side half on the wall (after checking how my penetration was). Then do more practice and make another frame.
Your way is probably a lot better, but a bit of compromise when it comes to keeping my momentum going may keep my head in the game getting into frame #2.
Black Ship:
Cool. Ha, we have the same initals.
