Default 5 PICS of me CUTTIN my WINDVEST

........This Was an experiment That . WORKED.......
Band Saw,, Sander,, and a Drill.. AND a Neighbor with a Shop.
I had to lower the Windvest 1in. and it was already Hittin the head light
So I Cut 2in. Off the bottom, so I could Drill 2 Holes To Lower it

Used a roto-zip when I cut mine, like cutting butter.

Slick. Trick is using either a fine tooth blade like that bandsaw or something similarly smooth runnin. Just wonderin, anyone here ever cut down a shield like a National Cycle Switchblade 2 up shield? Those babies seem to be darn near bulletproof hard. I've got no access to a nice shop but do have a good jigsaw and a elec die grinder (also a dremel) as well as a belt sander.
