I've used those before and they're good. But I'm trying to make my
own.

Okay, I'll give that a try, but is the problem the recipe or my
technique? I think it's bad technique. I just can't get the board,
flour, pastry and rolling pin to work together.

Thanks for the tips.

Y'know, I looked at that and the bean thing sounds pretty strange to
me. However, doing the rolling inside of a plastic bag sounds
interesting. I have a box of 12"x15" storage bags and I'll give that a
try.

Thanks to both of you, Ward Abbott and Norvin, for your help.
