I've got to agree with Esther here on the box thing. I've been making my 
now infamous Box o' Dovetails for all sorts of junk around the shop. (So 
far only one, the first, is stained with the red stuff.) My dovetails 
have certainly improved since then. Same for my sawing techniques.

Now as to skintight evening gowns.... I am shuddering at the thought of 
500 or so VERY hairy Neanderthals dragging their knuckles on the ground 
next to their spike pumps walking up and down their shop looking for 
needle and thread in order to sew their sequins back on.

Although (glance left...right...over the shoulder) I have heard that 
Gunterman fellow talk about how he likes the feel of silk next to his 
skin! You KNOW what I'm talking about (Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge).
