I am going to buy a metal cutting blade for my circular saw.
In the front and back (gable ends) I am going to use a fresh sheet for each top piece and only cut the angle top. This will be covered by flashing so I am not to worried about these pieces.
On the sides I will wait and see how the metal looks after cutting with this saw blade because this is where I will have exposed cuts.
I like the idea you gave me of using clear sheets at the top to let in light. But on the other hand I was planning to put 1 sheet of OSB under the metal on each corner for wind bracing. I'm thinking of putting 2 pieces of metal in the front and back to cover the OSB and using the clear sheets in the middle. This will give me a 2 foot by 12 foot sky light on each side of the building.
Worst case scenario I will need to buy 16 pieces 2 foot long (about $75) and then all exposed cuts will be factory cuts.
I am not worried about the exposed cuts as far as looks go. My main concern is cutting the panels efficiently and the integrity of the metal after cut. A little rust color on the edge is one thing; but rusting to the point of jeopardizing integrity is different.
Point is case..... I drove 70 miles one way to get .80 CCA wood for the post rather than buying pressure treated wood locally. I am building this shed for my great grand kids; not just me.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
