With very little exception, most of what I teach is what I've learned over the years from Dan anyway, so it 's kinda, somewhat, almost-a-little-bit, nearly, sorta, vaguely similar to learning from the big guy. Minus the amusing anecdotes, but including some colorful jobsite banter.
I do what I can.

But wait- there's more! If you can get @JohnNY to take you down to the General Society's basement, you can see some of his work. Not to be missed!
