Step 8Cut expanded metal lath baffles

Cut expanded metal lath baffles
The number of baffles you cut depends on the length of your rainstick and on your patience. Cutting all these small screens is not the most interesting part of the project. I stopped after 18 of these. That make an average of 2.5" between each baffle in the tube.
