I for one really appreciate your post, Bob. I too am a noob at this and have only done recaps and some "armchair" alignments. Been really lucky, but that was also on sets that were already working. This is a good topic with good suggestions, and now I know what I need to be looking for myself.

Sounds like you did well! Repair on!
