I second that - seen it firsthand.

Again, I've seen it happen.

OK, I understand. I've held tech sessions on various subjects and have 
been asked to do one on engine assembly, but though I've built about 12 
motors now, I'm not a professional either, and it can be distracting to 
have an audience when you're trying to get through a challenging part of 
the process. A couple of years ago I set up a web camera so my Dad could 
watch me build one of my Lotus twin cam motors and a couple gearboxes, 
and he had so many questions I had to cut off the sound while I was 
taking measurements. Live audiences don't have mute buttons...;-)

Cheers,
Greg
