Thanks for the good info, Mac and Gary. There were several SMC how-to videos linked-thru that chipquik link very interesting. They make it look 'too easy' though. Reminds me of the "how to weld aluminum with a propane torch' demo videos at this site--

I haven't yet got around to trying that either, but somehow suspect it wouldn't go as smooth in my hands, as in the video. <g> One time there was a guy demoing e-bows at NAMM and he was playing it so easy and fluid I bought one. Subsequently neither I or my expert guitarist friends managed to ever get more than sporadic ugly honks out of it <g>. There is a knack to everything.

When I used to make a lot of one-off circuit boards, drilling the thru holes was the most annoying task, so it is easy to see how SMC might make it faster-easier once one got the knack.
