Welcome to the board!
I'm with Charlee on this one. Ties would be a bit daunting for a first project....try a couple of simple things, ask a million questions here and have a good practice. You'll be up to the ties in no time. A big welcome from Perth, Western Australia.

Thank you Earthwalker! I'll do that, because I don't want to mess them up.
