Getting ready

[robar]

yes i did a few last night. i also found out that you don't need a mat cutting board.. i've got a 3'x5' drafting table. i went to home depot and bought a $10 5' long aluminum 2'' wide rule. C clamped it to the table and used 2 squeeze type clamps for the middle of the rule so all i had to do was take them off, position the mat, put the middle clamps on and cut the mat.. problem is that i had won 2 mat cutting boards from ebay and now will have to relist them.

one thing i can recommend is get a logan 4000 mat cutter (ebay <$20 BIN) for cutting. it makes life easy.. be careful with it tho so you don't end up with a lot of puncture holes in your hand.. hmmmm, wish they'd told me that...

The cutter I use is a Logan Simplex 750 and it makes life very easy cutting beveled matts along with their V groove cutter for edge decoration on the matts.
