I am actually taking a different tack at this chapter and doing the confidence stuff as I come across the skill need in the chapters so I probably won't add much here unless I do something that I think was amazing. I am also using the other local builders as resources for questions. I find that I learn alot by watching them do a particular type of layup and then copying the skill.

Addendum - 2/5/2007:
TRANSLATION: I am confident that I will certainly screw something up along the way and I am confident that I can fix it. :-)
