RE: SB: Shaping the Bale / post Holidays

["Pacot, Domingo G" <Domingo.Pacot@team.telstra.com>]

As an example, I am talking about a bale butting up to an angle, such as the
side of a triangle window or filling in towards the peak of a roof line , or
as you are saying  filling in "where two walls are at less than 90 degrees
to  each other 

Quite simply - how do you put a diagonal cut through a rectangular bale and
get it to hold together ? My reference to progressively larger bales was
suggesting that the "angle" may be made up of progressively smaller "steps"

Still seeking truth and knowledge....

	     I'm not sure what you mean, Domingo.  Perhaps a more detailed 
	description of what you have in mind would prompt more replies.  Are

	you thinking of two walls at an angle of less than 90° to each
other? 
	Your comment about "progressively larger bales" suggests not.
