I apologies guys, i miss read what Archie posted, it was late and i had been busy reading through all the other bumped threads

Anyway yeah, as Dave said, you will need some decent tools, tin snips may do in a pinch, a dremel will work well, a bandsaw would be ideal. but im guessing you dont have access to that so a pair of tinsnips or a rotary tool would best suit your needs. alternativly there are plastics you can use that are strong and much more easy to work with, and pretty cheap.
