January 3, 2007 - Canopy Prep

I'm getting things ready to do some serious cutting on the canopy.  First I marked a red centerline down the length of the canopy.  This took a little time as the thing is so big and I kept having to walk around it. 
I bought this little cheapo spacer heater.  The idea is to run it under the canopy for awhile so it's nice and warm for cutting. 
I cut a little piece off the corner of the canopy with my electric angle cutter.  The canopy didn't crack or anything but the electric grinder just didn't have the speed.  So I bought this pneumatic cutter at Horrible Freight and will use the thin cutting disk supplied with the finish kit.
