what shape is the coving your doing kirk you can use thin alum if you like or zinc as long as it works it will be fine

av gone for quite a simple shap because its my first1

it projects 6'' ad is 8'' deep and is just a dasic curve with 3 steps at the top and 5 at the bottom.

if that makes any sense?

i don't think that it is going to look beautiful but i didn't want to go to crazy on my first go ???
