one simple methode to get rid of the gap when cutting 2 sheets...just go in 45° and it fits perfect onto each other and u do not need to fill the gap all the time. In a lot of spaces u could have used this method

thank you for the tip, we have to leave a gap about the width of the cutting blade to take up panel expansion when we weld them together otherwise the panel would warp :)

I know what you mean , I (steve) edit the wednesday videos myself as well as film , do the repair work and everything to make the videos, its hard to find music and when we do the volume some times changes when we upload them, we are still on a learning curve and trying to improve our videos as well as our skill and content, sometimes not everything works and on this occasion the sound volume somehow managed to evade me haha i will try harder next time :)

Joanne, you can go to the "settings" symbol below the video and select playback speed and then you can slow the motion by up to 2x. The speech will be err slurred, but if you have the Subtitles/closed captions highlighted, that allows you to "read the speech as text. I often do this as the weld flash sometimes causes me issues (I had a partial stroke ),
