I finally had a chance and some decent weather to deliver and start installed a railing that has been waiting for months. I was a little afraid that they would not like the finish or the design. They were not home when I delivered it and measured for the hand rails.

Still just trying to get this uploading thing to work right.

I have a plasma cutter and I have no problem cutting the copper at all. My problem is what is a good supportive surface to use underneath? I can use a large grate but I would like to know if there is anything else that would be condusive to smaller more intricate scroll type work and details.
