October 10, 2008, Newsletter Issue #163: X-acto Knife Skills

Tip of the Week

Crikey! DonŽt hold your Xacto knife like youŽre going to stab the board! Use your Xacto knife with care. Always make sure your blades are sharp, and tape or post your board or paper so your hand (right if youŽre left-handed and visa-versa) is not under the blade. Always use a METAL ruler with a rubber backing when cutting edges to help keep your hand and the blade from slipping.

This may sound simple, but IŽll guarantee thereŽs been more blood shed on drafting tables than all the World Wars.
