Congrats! [clap]

I never saw Lance's tut's on that, but Chris P has a good series on how he makes his bridges.

Great news, Bob! Good to have you back!

Found a lot of the old tutorials, but not that one.

If the big C is what I think it is are you really sure you want some toots?

Great to hear it Bob! I think there's a youtube vid of John Mayes making bridges and he has a good low tech method which works well...

I must share with you all that the day I posted this question, I received frim John Mayes a congrat message and a request for my address so that he may send me his tutorial-free.

Bob,

Awesome! It doesn't surprise me a bit that John did that. As has been stated on the OLF many times, he's a standup dude (with impish wit, boyish good looks, and a winning smile :D ).

Yay! Great too hear that! My mother is a two time cancer survivor, clean for over ten years now. It's a tremendous feat and wonderful news to hear.
