: o.k. so basically, the answer is very, very carerfully, one piece
: at a time? I was kind of thinking it might be something like
: that.

: Thanks.
David,
Yes,one peice at a time.I figure on up to an hour each to fully fit ,fix and glue,and then fuss over.The care comes in getting the orientation of the bend and twist correct.You offer up the straight strip to the forms and get in your mind's eye which way it is to be bent[and twisted].The process is quite easy to master,it's the enormous amounts of time in the shed that can be hard to explain...
