Re: Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be DIY'ers!!


Another interesting shot! What's interesting to note here is that the two screens that are hot spotting are the two with mica in them! That purple looking one front center is Silver Fire. And the back right one with the gray stripe down it's right side is known as S-I-L-V-E-R. If that isn't enough to make you away away from mica, I don't know what else to show you! Probably the most important thing to note is that there are panels with a lot more 'metal' in them than these two have mica!

Still pluggin' away at screenshots!

Do you even get to actually WATCH movies, or just enjoy bits and pieces of them while snapping stills?

Well to add to your collection of samples I have been in touch with Bill on the special batch of WilsonArt laminates. I hope to pick a sheet up this week at his house, build my screen, then shoot a sample your way.
