Yes, that thread. He's updated the first post to include a video the Handplane guys did that basically spells out the rules. It's REALLY good and helped me a ton.
Heyo! Looks like you are making good progress! Don't get caught in the details at this point! Looking forward to the next update. /Edit: Awful phone-spelling
My first advice would be to improve your grammar and spelling, then dabble with some "3d". Hmmm... don't want to say this, but try cgtalk first? (there I said it)
Eee! The horizontal stripes running into the black hurt! And you probably want to change that font. And it pains me, of all people to say - you need a spell checker.
