I just read thru the entire post and you are doing excellent work ! Great job cutting out the door , I don't have the patience to do it that clean .
This should be a beauty when you are finished !

[bryan_m]

thanks Bob.

i use the back of a #11 blade to cut stuff open, it takes alot longer, but gives you a really nice sharp cut...it took me at least 90 minutes to cut that one door open, and another 30 to make the hinge.........but it worth it, a little patience pays off in the end.

cheers
