LOSTCIRCUITS	SHORTCUTS: What You Need Getting Started Cutting The Fins Finishing Touch
The $6.40 Question, er, Solution A short roundup

This is what the cuts should look like. In this case the picture shows the cuts after turning the coupling around and cutting the bottom.

Here is a close-up of the results:

Now, wasn't that fun?
