    Hey there. I am about to attempt this for myself. Now I have read the following site as well as many posts here on the HAMB.

    Now, I just wish I knew what he used to make the intricate cut seen in this video.


    My set up: (Four posts down from top or so)

    -I do not have access to a machine shop, and have not found one to do non-business work yet.
    -I do not really like the cutting method as I believe; especially up here in new england, that the open space is just begging for salt, water, and dust.
    -People do not like the full flip as the bleeder is in a location that can be hit by debris.

    What is the best way?

    I did the flip method on my A in the early 60's worked fine, bled fine.
