Bailey, a question, and it has bothered me for years, why is it some people can really use their hands, eyes etc to make beautiful stuff like you, SDH and others on this forum (I include car mechanics, painters etc) while people like me are unbelievably cack handed, I mean really useless ? yesterday my wife asked me to take a school photo out of a simple clip frame to photcopy it and I broke the glass putting the clips back on....toolwise, everything I touch goes pear shaped, why is this, is it genetic, my old man was as bad as me, my mum used to get the TV repairman in to change channels rather than let my old man near it

On one memorable occasion (this is true) back in the sixties the TV started smoking, my old man bunged his scotch down the back to cool it !! You can imagine !!, I like old cars but never go near mine unless I have my mate with me, guess it is a gene thing but I would love to be good with my hands, best, Mike
