Hi Dex and welcome to the site 😀

If you want lots of the boards cutting I would buy the material from a supplier like Amari/Cox etc who will cut it for you for a few quid. If you’ve already got the material then Rob did a great demo on cutting foamex and making a cheap cutting guide. You will need to splash out on the full membership though to see it – but if you are serious about getting on in the signmaking business you will pick up far more usefull information and the cost will soon be forgotten 😉

hi mate and welcome to the site! 😛

thanks for taking the plunge and saying hello.. any questions fire away..

regarding foamex cutting i am the saame as you thought the fancy gadgets with a stanely blade were over priced, although good!
instead i sorta made my own straight edge that does do the job just as good if you follow the instructions properly.. this demo can be found in the demo are as nigel has said already.. 😀

got an avatar image.. send me it and ill load it for you! 😉
