Thanks Shawn... I have never used others plans but... I am somewhat of a rookie at my own design from the git-go as I have always borrowed others elements and incorpoarted into my final design piece. In this case and the 3 before it I did not go looking for ideas and simply sat down with a note-pad (as I always have done) and concocted the whole thing from visual impressions of what I have seen or experienced.

When it comes down to it.. it would be extremely difficult to totally design any piece not using elements from the past as the past covers around 5000 years and about every element in a component has been probably thought of and used at some point. That's life!
