I don’t’ write often to this little chat room, but I am compelled to respond to Mr. Dodson. 

Sir, you should count yourself fortunate that Brent takes the time to post in this chat room.  His credentials exceed most and you should consider in earnest what comes from his pen for your well being and your friends well being.  As to the quality of your work, if you don’t know how good it is then I suggest you quit working with carbon or glass until you know.  I am sure that Brent and many others can offer assistance.
