screennamehell

I got tired trying to find an unused screen name! I am 70 years old and began trying to learn and develop woodworking skills when I retired at 65. I am known in my family as a folk art woodworker because my work has all the requisite screw ups, errors, mistakes, miss-measurements, etc., etc. and will never be mistaken for a well crafted piece that might have been made by a manufacturer or a real wood worker. That aside, I enjoy what I do and we find great humor in what I do.

Thus, I am very familiar with the concept in your article about failure being a great learning tool. However, that is not what I wish to comment about.

As I read your article, I was gripped (and got goose bumps) by your use of the English language. You are a word smith who has to take second place to no one! With words you paint a beautiful canvas that grips, awes, educates and entertains!

You should be proud. Thank you.
