I was thinking those screen surround dies would be very useful in general especially for the front screen lower corners.

Flared arches...I am sure a man of your considerable talent could knock up the dies to fabricate these...before breakfast !!

Put me down for a set  ;D

Love your work Carl.

Cheers
