Your completely right. Growing up my hero was Da Vinci. Of course all the jocks made fun of me. But a hero can come from anywhere.

I was going to ask you to show us how you threw the 3-feet on to those bowls, but I think I'll just go hit the wheel and try to come up with my own. Very inspirational video to everyone, regardless of race. I have never seen 'knobby' bowls like that and want to thank you for showing them. Back to watching your videos..I hope there are a few hundred.
