That is a great skill. I've seen so many wrapped in other stuff where there are gaps at the top edge from the person not making final cuts and just putting it up and slamming it with a ton of tar in the open area's. Shoddy work there, I have seen some great copper work like you talk about. Those are the guys that taking the time to do it right and not just to get it done fast as possible no matter what. Recutting/minor trimming is the secret like putting a space board between cabinets and a not so straight wall on a kitchen refurb. I think most of the guys nowadays are learning on the job or just using the shortcut they were taught without trying to figure out the new way that is the proper way. If you know how to do it right it takes the same amount of time to do a 10X better looking job.
