John Jordan suggested I post a few pics of how I'm coming along. Well, I'd say slow but sure. I've done probably 10 practice panels of 3 sided & 2 sided shapes. I've gotten to the point that I am experimenting with the angle of the knife - for small chips, 65* works well, but for wider ones I am still trying to find what works best for me.

This is a (poor) photo of the practice panel I copied from FWW 2 weeks ago.

This is a very simple pattern I did later, to break up the monotony of the practice boards.
