Tom,
Since I wrote to RCSE last night, I figure you might want an answer from me.
My motives were completely to encourage folks just to go and challenge
themselves to improve their skills. Isn't this what it's all about?

I second the copper board, used my dremel cutoff wheel to make all my

I have also had decent luck with light ply sandwiched in glass or

affair.
Good luck,
