Hi Everyone,

I have completed a tutorial on the methods I use for making nice thin
trim bands and inlays in your wraps. By the responces that I received
from both seasoned builders and the ones with lesser experiance I
am confident that many should get some use from it.

I have it in MS Word format and thanks to Mike Barkley I also have it
in PDF format.

Anyone who would like a copy of my tutorial please email me off the board
and let me know which format you prefer and I'd be very happy to send it to
you.

I have previewed the tutorial and it should be a great help to those who have problems in this area or havent tried it because they couldnt figure it out. Must be good because even I understood it the way Ray presents it.

By the way thanks for your efforts and sharing.

Ray, I just finished reading your tutorial, thanks for sharing this information. The tutorial is very well done, the description, the pictures did a great job. I'll be busy this evening trying to do a few trim bands.

Again, thanks.

Obviously Ray has at some point seen the reoccuring theme 1st represented in episode #3 of 2,987,374 on Sesame Street intitaled "Sharing" I think it is very nicely done and should be a great help to many. As for Ray's misspelled assertion that due to praise garnered on this site for his exemplary tutorial he would become larger than wife; He did make an uncharcteristic typo, I do believe he meant infamous. Great job Ray

If you have a spam blocker set-up on your email that requests
a form to be filled out before you will accept my reply you will
NOT receive it. I have been receiving a LOT of requests and not
only do I NOT have the time to jump thru any hoops some of the
forms that I have tried to fill out could not be processed.

I hope you understand.

please send your request again with your blocker disabled

I hope that this inspires some more of you guys to make up some tutorials like this. Sometimes it's SO hard to describe something on a post without pictures. This kind of thing takes "sharing" to a whole different level.
I will be more than happy to convert any tutorials that anyone puts together into PDF format.
