My apologies--Johnny told me he'd learned the exact details of the
technique directly from you, and I never saw any reason to doubt him, as the quality
of the finished work is excellent. Johnny has a jig as well, he doesn't
freehand it. I don't know the exact mechanics as to how he does the
conversion, compared to how you do it. It may be that he does it exactly the same
way you do (as he had indicated to me), or maybe not? Based on what he
told me, I believed that he did, and furthermore believed that he was doing so
with your blessing.
Mike
