Re: Cutting checkering
That’s a remarkable difference between the checkering on the two panels. Nicely done. Do you use Dembart tools? Used to work for a place that sold them and even back then (1980’s) they didn’t sell very fast. Probably a lost art for the most part, cool that you are keeping it alive.

Re: Cutting checkering
I use Dem-Bart and Gunline and both work equally well. I can understand slow sales on the tools. Some folks buy them and cut a few lines and decide it isn't for them and sell them at gun shows cheap and that is where I look for them. I need to buy new cutters and some 60 degree needle files. I have plenty of handles so I won't need any more them. The needle files are nice to have for tight spots and cutting lines that are so shallow in places the checkering tool or border tool doesn't want to follow very well.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 10:55 amThat’s a remarkable difference between the checkering on the two panels.
