Smaller pieces, of course, are less prone to warp. I'd be glad to help you troubleshoot if you have questions or a specific piece you are trying to work out. I know I spent a LOT of time making diagrams and paper models before I ever cut out a single piece. less

Thanks, Nisa. I think your work is fabulous - saw it in Oakland!
Is there a place I can get some info on tab construction? I can't quite figure out the enameling sequence to avoid warpage...
