There were areas in the middle where I could see that thinning it out a little bit would allow the gaps to narrow a little bit. <BR/><BR/>I think there are probably more areas where I can use the same method to tighten it up some more. The trick might be in keeping the left and rights sides symmetrical, but if I only do it enough to get the gaps down to a size that would be ok to just fill in with epoxy/sawdust paste I think that would be ok.DaveGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015349658680998609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14001215.post-42112282703239443032008-03-03T15:41:00.000-05:002008-03-03T15:41:00.000-05:00i tolt you, clamped up in the gap part run a jig ...i tolt you, clamped up in the gap part run a jig saw where they are touching. this will act as a <BR/>'file' if you will and be able to take them down bit by bit till it is good. i would at least try on scrap to see what i am talking about. i used to do this when welding odd shaped aluminum that was not fitting.<BR/>leon cLeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288771971363819090noreply@blogger.com
