Boat building was much more fun..


Probably circular saw blades that will do a clean cut.
Not sure, as I never did metal with one, but have done brick/concrete.
Billy Mays shilled something called the Dualsaw, with 2 circular
blades counter-rotating.
But you should be done with the snips by now, so you saved some money.

I got it cut. *To make it lay flat, I had to haul a 4 X8 sheet of ply
up on top of the camper. *Then I hauled concrete blocks up the ladder
to put on the ply sheet to weight it down, *It works but is a PITA.
It is effin hot out. *The dogs look at me with those "You aren't going

I got my own recipe for gator aide, you can call it Frogaide.
Crystalite with a shake of salt. No carbs and no calories but it does
have the salt gatoraide has. Tastes like a Margarita.
