[TheForge] Baskets

[ductility at juno.com]

Well...I guess, if you really want to see them!  I wasn't as proud of the
finished product as I was the fact that the baskets were my first and how
it was easy for me to overcome problems thanks to fast response from
people on the list.  I wanted everyone to know that I appreciate this
source of vast knowledge.  I will share some pictures later but I don't
expect any "ooohs" and "ahhs" from anyone.

Thanks,
Jeff in Phoenix
