I started the cladding on one of the gable end walls. Up to the point when this first photo was taken it was pretty smooth sailing because I was able to only make cuts where they would not be on show when the cabin would be finished. The right hand vertical corner and the gable angles will all be concealed by 150mm flashings, so as long as they are close to correct it'll be fine.
Once I had to mark up and cut the left hand corner piece (missing in this first shot) I found my angle grinder was too messing and my aviation snips were too much hard work.
I was told by Makita that to cut sheet metal I would need a metal-specific circular saw, but that seemed to specific to be worth the money. I got a normal circular saw and bought an after-market metal blade, specifically against the advice of the experts, and it worked an absolute treat.
