"Paul K. Dickman" fired this volley in
:

Try scoring it with a razor knife or one of those hooked blades you
use to score Plexiglas.

I have found that, once you have a score line, spring bronze tears
pretty easy in the direction of the grain.

There's an idea we haven't tried. We thought of scoring it, but also
thought the way to break the score would be by brake-bending... never
thought of _tearing_ it. Hmmm...

Now I've got to figure out if the grain runs the long way on this
material.
