danger Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just cut them and sand to shape. Run over them with a gas torch afterwards if it tickles your fancy. Alternatively, buy shorter ones from BNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Ok I'llgive it a go, have the grace of being 6 up.. what type of disc do you use? I use a cutting disc to cut them and a linishing disc to shape them. Remember to open up your shed as you'll smoke it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 i went with - cut short with hack/bandsaw, stanley knife to shape, linisher/upsidedown belt sander to finish. coarser the belt the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
