Barry you are coorect - tragic was the wrong word (and I was trying to think of a better one at the time, but it just didn't come to me.)

Better words to describe this scene are perseverance, determination and skill. I remember being very impressed that you picked up the pieces immediately and began again. I must admit, however, that I actually felt sorry for you when I first read the update. I am glad everyhting has worked out for you in the end.

So tell me, do you have mech or other engineering experience? Your work borders on the artistic - and obvioulsy your willingness to pick up the pieces and move on so quickly shows that you're no quitter.

Ok - I'll stop gushing now - I've just been so impressed with the project all along the way.
