Coach,
I like to do so many things and my tools is what speed my process up. Here are some of my "Tricks to the Trade". 1. Exacto Knife (Home Depot) Utility Knife - used for making quick cuts to the plastic. 2. Bic lighters 3. Ice Water 4. Extreme Power Thick (Advanced Performance Instant Adhesive) 5. Zip and Kick Accelerator 6. Putty 7. Chewing Gum 8. Super Glue 9. Facial Hair 10. Pictures of athletes (usually on nflphotos.com or the nfl.com gallery) 11. Patience 12. Creative juices because once you start, it is an ADDICTION! Reginald Rutledge FF.net |

Nobody seems to use this tool but me but I think it is the best thing going for any cutting because of the minimal amount of material it actually removes.
Jewelers saw Available on ebay. Here is one for example http://cgi.ebay.com/JEWELERS-SAW-144...QQcmdZViewItem I also like a pair of forceps for gripping tiny parts. http://images.cabelas.com/is/image/c...?$main-Medium$ Actually, dang near any dental or operating room instrument can be used in some way or another.
