I do the whole "let's try this and see what happens" thing a lot myself.  This is how inventions are discovered.  Besides, if you never try anything new, how to you expect to progress?  If nobody ever tried anything new we'd all still be living like animals! 

I personally like your machinery.  Don't be too hard on yourself - it's unfounded.  One of my favorite sayings:  Function first, pretty later.

Thanks OX...she has always been ugly, but I am proud to say that I've gotten plenty of compliments on the quality of the product she's produced. It always seemed to be within 1/16" accuracy out 12+ foot on even wider slabs... :)

Well, that's great!  Just proves the point that pretty paint don't make a mill cut straight.

Be very proud of your homemade stuff.  After all, what percentage of people on earth can say they've built their own sawmill?  Way less than 1%, I'll bet.  So, in this way of thinking, Presto!  You're now part of the 1 percenters, the elites!  ;D
