    That's about as bad as Martha Stewart! Ok, honest, I was flipping through the channels a couple years ago and saw galvanized metal on the tv... naturally I stop to see whats going on.

    Martha in her great wisdom used a carpet knife to "score" the metal, approx 15 times, then switch ends of the blade, and score it 15 more times. Now you bend it back and forth along the score line to break it off.... then file smooth....

    lol

    I guess if you have to field fab something Magic Marker is ok.

    The old codger who taught me didn't have patiance for BS either.

    when I screwed something up he'd stab the scratch awl between my fingers.
    Lucky for me this guy had a precision eye. But that was what the lesson was about, if he hadn't had a good eye he would never have pulled that stunt.

    Shesh..everybody who's somebody in sheet metal had a "Mr. Miagai" type instructor.

    I got good at metal , but not like my old mentor.
