    How about taking a silver or gold tube, drawing it thru a square
    drawplate  and sawing  it in half or drawing it thru a rectangle
    drawplate and cut or file off  the top. 

    Another idea would be to cut it in half with the Jump Ringer.      
    Calculate the height of two pieces of C-shaped channel plus the
    blade thickness, and use that to select the drawplate hole.  Draw it
    through a rectangle draw plate.  Use a pair of dividers to scribe 
    the center point on a side where you want to cut it.   Place it in a
    Jump Ringer , on top of a piece of wood, so you can cut all the way
    through.    Center it  using the scribe mark,  and cut it with the
    jump ringer ....(Ray, you can use this idea for a small
    percentage......<grin>......). 

Love and God Bless
