Borat Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sum it up: Bought what I though would be some hs red material. It's the material, but just the blocks ready to be carved and glued in. Whats the best way to cut them with? As it's pretty hard material? Kthnxbi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 brand new stanley knife blade and keep it wet Once you get the technique, you can whack em out pretty quick lots of smooth, light strokes are the secret to a good cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Maybe get an adult to help you. You'll need a fairy liquid washing up bottle, a couple of straws and a pen. Here's one I made earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Something to hold the material... not your hands. Sharp knife, fresh stanley or a craft scalpel and a steel rule. make sure the blade is wet and you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 a bread knife?! Kids these days, You should probably get your dad or a DT teacher to cut them for you if you're gonna attack them with a breadknife >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 A vice will be your best friend! If you're using a scalpel, make sure it's a sharp, fresh blade and use some water to lube the cutting. A hacksaw/decent bread knife can work extremely well, and quickly too as you get straight cuts. But, it's less accurate so practice will help there. Take it slowly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
