Goo,

    Your wildly crazy and I love it! 

    I don't know if they still do it, but years ago at a SANG conference
    I attended in Boston there was a competition for attendees: The "Saw,
    File, Solder" contest; where group of 2-person teams would get up on
    stage and build a basic flat band out of sheet in a timed race. The
    1st team member sawed a strip off a brass sheet, filed the edges and
    ends, then the 2nd team member wrapped it into a ring, soldered the
    ends together and shaped it on a mandrel. It was fun, fast and not
    without a few minor slip-ups such as when Richard Mawdsly (sp?) slit
    his tongue on a backwardly installed saw blade while lubricating it! 

Paul
