Interesting link to Sawmill Creek. Or rather=2C I was struck by the
author's name. Now "George Wilson" is a pretty common name=2C and I know
two. One was Dennis the Menace's nemesis (say that three times fast)=2C
and the other was the master tool maker at Colonial Williamsburg until
he recently retired. Apparently this is from the latter (his profile
doesn't do him justice). His advice is golden.

-T (We could go into where *he* might have gotten that bit of wisdom=2C
whether from an old mentor or some ancient text.)
