getting good notches in angle
I have notched and formed the angle for the top of my instrument panel. I drilled the stop holes first then notched with straight snips. Any recommendations on how to get a better notch without the slight wave that snips leave? Am I being overly sensitive?

Yes!
You are being overly sensitive in my opinion.

I drilled, then used the bandsaw to cut out the notches, followed up by a file to smooth the edges.

You know I have a band saw that is 50' away in my hangar? I should be out there tonight and this weekend.

the horror
I think you should be more concerned about the fact that you're bleeding all over your panel.

Ha! As a matter of fact, I did offer some blood to the aircraft builder-gods today. The red in the pic though is the 'AL' of 'ALCLAD' printed on the sheet  |
