CraigRVenner 1 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 was thinking about useful things I could do with a bit of spare time when I cant get out in the field and I have watched a few of the net making videos on the internet and thought I would fancy trying myself, not to sell just for my own use and was wondering the 2 inch gaugeing board does this have to be flat as I have a couple of plastic weights off the bottom of some old blinds and they are bevelled out slightly on both sides, would this matter or does it have to be flat?

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Shouldn't matter mate, just be a slightly bigger mesh. Ive used laminate floor, door way joining strip before I got a 2.1/4 board. Cut myself some metal boards as soon as I found a bit of ally sheet though. 1 Quote Link to post

The one 8,482 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Give it a try if it works great if no get a bit of hardwood and cut a board 2 inch is fine but you will also get away with 2 and a eighth inches Quote Link to post
