I used to do all that cutting with a hacksaw, I love how times have changed . :)

I had no idea how you made these. Now that I’ve seen it, it makes sense.

At 3:00 I had the camera angle too low and you can't see what I'm doing. I'm just using a hot cut hardy tool to open up the cuts I made, you have to do this pretty quickly, if you lose too much heat you can risk cracking the eye of the cross when you open it.
