LittleFox Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I know.. I know... you experts are thinking... what took her so long!? But I had so many other "tools" that would do the same thing I kept putting it off... even when I knew that I was making it hard on myself. And I got to use my 60% off Coupon at AC Moore. I am so thrilled! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I was like you and didn't get one till I've been doing minis for quite awhile. After I got it, I asked myself the same thing. LOL You'll find it super handy for all kinds of things. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 For those wondering what an easy cutter is: http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index....asp&C=2625 I dont have one yet either but it is on my list of things I have to have!

redneck princess Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It is definitely one of my favorite tools! Now that I'm starting to do baseboards, it's going to be used a lot! If it's on your wish list, definitely move it to the top. You'll wonder what you ever did without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 yep i am thinking it will be my next purchase well in with my next purchase from miniatures since I will be starting all the trim on the san fran soon, I am not looking forward to cutting it all with a saw or and exacto knife.

Anna Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Oh yes I too have the mitre cutting thingy, not an Easy Cutter though another brand and I am soooo lost without it LOL. WIll have to resharpen it soon I think, atleast try and if that fails I will just "have" to replace it with the "real deal" LOL Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet-gal Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I got the Ultimate Easy Cutter - can't remember how it's different to the standard one, but I love it. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Its actually the only real tool I have for constructing my houses. :o So dont feel bad Cindy, I got mines pretty recent as well. The only reason I got it was to be able to cut skewers and skinny sticks. It works great for thick trim as well but I hardly ever have to cut that. This tool would have been a blessing though for Duracraft houses since they brought those long uncut thick trim pieces. I remember I had to buy a saw to build the Cainbridge. What a pain. I know a lot of people use this tool for shingles and thats really what motivated me to buy it but I ended up never using it for that. I still use the good ole scissors on them since I dont cut them one by one. Anyways congrats on your purchase! Every tool bought will make the work easier.

mom of boys Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was given mine for my birthday from my parents. DH was thinking of giving me one but instead he saw a bed for Maggie. It is wonderful for cutting trim especially for the bays in Maggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I LOVE mine. I am now able to make my own picture frames with no trouble at all. And trim...I can now do ceiling trim easily. Mini-life is so much easier with the easy cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzKathyP Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I didn't know this tool existed! I haven't started my trim yet, and will have to somehow squeeze this out of the budget before I start. Thanks for posting this info - yet another invaluable tip for beginners like me.

Songbird Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ok, I'm sold! I cut all my baseboard and moldings and flooring with this little miter thing and a tiny saw so that cutter sounds like it is worth every penny! Goes to top of wish list!

MakeMineMini Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I love my Easy Cutter. It makes things so much easier. Congrats on the purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I don't have one of those. I've been using my little saw and miter box since 1989. I have been cutting my miter cuts with my scroll saw for the past week. That works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsenmel Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Okay, you guys sold me on it...I haven't started cutting trim yet, but my little miter box and saw might have to share the load with an Easy Cutter I'm off to Jo-Ann's with my 40% off coupon!
