Hi all, I have a weird requirement. I need to cut a piece of stiff material into an odd shape. It needs to be around 1 mm thick; I think mount board might do the job (sample in local framing shop looks a bit between 1 and 2 mm). The shape I want is basically a rectangle, but with a notch cut out of one edge, and two 4x5 inch cutouts. This might give a clue to the purpose; I'm trying to build a negative holder to scan 4x5 negatives on an Epsone V500. So I thought I'd have a try cutting the shape out of the mount board, after drawing the shape on the board, and using a Stanley knife or a box cutter. What I can't work out is what to put underneath to provide a firm surface that won't blunt the knife or destroy that surface (eg a table)
Any advice? It occurs to me that more of my assumptions may be wrong! Thanks
