I started throwing on the wheelhead because of the chatter from the Creativ=
e
Industries batts and cut them off and use the batt or hardibacker to put
them on until I trim. Impressive effort though. It looked like some had a
different profile than others when taken off the wheel, but they weren't
there long enough to be sure.

I saw it. I can throw that fast but it takes a lot of wedging - a lot of
wedging. Jeez, I am tired just thinkin about it. I tend to do things like
that in batches of 30 or so.

Nice video. I am sure a lot of people will find it inspiring.

Pretty fast, John. We can't throw one a week at our level.
But have a look at this little guy:

That was fun to watch. I bet if there was a way to superimpose your
movements in a re-combined video, there would be very little variation.
