Dear Suzanne,

    My immediate thought on reading your post is not a glamorous one but
    a very true one; the technology available allows me to mess up or
    change my mind on a design. I tend to design by the seat of the
    pants. I don't draw my concepts very well, and so I usually work
    with an idea and see where it takes me. I am not promoting this
    technique, and it is not an option for those doing commissioned
    works, but it is often the way I do things. As I don't have a firm
    idea thought out from start to finish, I have to problem solve along
    the way, and sometimes I find I have gotten ahead of myself and need
    to solder something after I have set a stone or made access to the
    area difficult. Several years ago I would have to spend a lot of
    time "backing up", and some projects would be a loss from the
    practical standpoint. Now I can send my design to a laser welder and
    the problem is solved quickly and efficiently. While I don't rely on
    a laser for the bulk of my work, I don't mind tapping that resource
    when it makes life easier.
