Thing is, you do the planning "before" you start finishing willy nilly, and before you start schmearing on glue, again willy nilly. So as to make the end product look like it hasn't gone through a tornado. 

Details do matter, pointing them out to the mere mortals among us is why you are such a good teacher, and I would think also a very much appreciated member here. I only add this last, as I hope Martin never bans you. Actions like that to folks who bring as much as you do to the table is what I refer to as Stupid.

Thanks for what you do.
