    I used to do all that cutting with a hacksaw, I love how times have changed . :)

    I had no idea how you made these. Now that I’ve seen it, it makes sense.

      Pretty simple once the bandsaw work is done. 😄

      Nils Ögren an angle grinder does work, using a thin cut off blade. :)

    At 3:00 I had the camera angle too low and you can't see what I'm doing. I'm just using a hot cut hardy tool to open up the cuts I made, you have to do this pretty quickly, if you lose too much heat you can risk cracking the eye of the cross when you open it.

      Two of them, the old green one at the beginning is a big Wilton and the other one I use for the intersecting cuts is a 1954 DoAll 1612
