Yeah, it's certainly not rocket science. Still, a lot of home shops are
terribly under-illuminated. I know my first 15 years worth of shops were.

Truth is, I'm just a guy whose found over the years that it's often
profitable to pay attention to the pros instead of paying them cash. When

weeks studying the subject and did it myself. It was time well spent and
has come in handy several times since then.
