[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 322442, member: 1523"] Make your forms out of cardboard or kraft paper, then cut your panels with your choice of saw. Drill your inside corners with a 3/8" drill bit. I like a worm gear circular saw for long straightish cuts (less kick and it's heavy enough to cut smoothly). Short cuts with a jig saw on slow speed. Metal cutting is loud so wear your ears. If you have bends, cut your metal and take it to a fab shop to get bent for a couple bucks. Just take a small piece scrap so they can set up the machine for your thickness. Tell them your story and most folks will do the work for little or nothing unless you have a lot. [/QUOTE]
