  Subject: 5.0 Tools  
   
Drill:
It's up to you whether you use a power drill, hand drill, model (Dremel) drill, a pin vice or just twirl the bits in your fingers.!
 
   
Floracraft Wonder Cutter:
Available in many craft stores and from Their Internet site this battery operated tool cuts polystyrene foam like a hot knife through butter.
 
   
Knives:
X-Acto or surgical knives have handles holding disposable blades. These come in a range of different configurations. I prefer the standard blade with a tapered point which is excellent at drilling out plastic gun barrels.
Craft Knives, the kind with snap off blades, are useful for general purpose cutting. I recommend getting a good one as the blade isn't very securely held in the cheaper models.
Please keep a supply of new blades at all times. Accidents usually happen when blades are blunt and you're using too much force.
 
   
Razor Saw:
A thin, fine toothed saw to fit X-Acto style handles. Excellent for cutting plastruct and thin woods.
 
   
Scissors:
Use sharp ones!
