use a swivel head knife for long curves
use one of those compass tools with a blade to cut curves and finish off with normal knife
use punches to cut smaller holes
Do a little at a time...dont hurry

pics soon
I dont think this engine likes me, Iv just been fitting the motor and I thought I could smell something coming from it so I lent forward and I get a lock of my long hair caught in the motor!
luckily I had my finger on the motor switch but I still had to cut of a massive chunk of my hair to free myself!
and Iv had to spend a good half hour picking hair from the motor.

Everyone at school has started to quote me as James May now with my hair!
(but the difference is, is that I actually wash my hair every morning!)
I need a hair cut really!

well I usually have it in a low ponytail but it makes it hard to scratch the back of my head so I tend to just let it hang lose when Im in the house.
but anyway when I gto all my thick darkbrown hair out the damn motor it worked fine.
Ill post pic tonight when Iv finished watching Family Guy on the workshop TV

Piccies are a bit blurry Looking nice, like everyone else said, shame about the edges, but a lot of these locoline's kits do that.
