Very well done. You're really capturing the look of the old-time (aka olde tyme) store front.

Dave, Scott, and Greg, thanks for your input.
I have used Easy Cutters in a few different varieties for many years for lots of stuff, sometimes it's the only tool I use on a project.
It comes in lots of variations, just google "easy Cutter".
Here's mine

Where can I buy an easy cutter?

Cool tool! I'll have to see about getting one of those. I use the Chopper III which is great but sometimes has difficulty with the thick materials used in large scale.Comment

Carl, Dave, and Ray, thanks for your posts.
Careful when ordering one of these, they come in many variations, all called EASY CUTTERS. Mine has a movable
guides that can be set at many different angles, most handy, some are just plain cutters without guides.
Most are between 20 and 30 dollars, not bad for a really good tool.

Here's the top of the building front as it stands right now. Except for cutting the first background sheet with openings
for door and windows, with an Xacto knife, the only tool I have used is the easy cutter.

Sorry, I also used a steel ruler and pencil.

Bob the facade is looking fantastic, and the Easy Cutter looks like a very useful tool. Do you have to do any squaring up after you make a cut?
How thick a strip can it cut through ?Comment

Looking great, Bob!! I used the salami method for the corbels on the holt house, I just didn't know it had a name.

Dave, Carl, Mike, Bill, and Fred, thanks for posting.
Dave and Carl, yes, that one from Dick Blick is exactly the same cutter I have,
Bill - it cuts square enough for me, I never have to clean it up. Hard to say how thick as that of course
depends on the material but it will surprise you at how thick it can cut.
Fred, Salami is not the official name, just my name for it. Who knows the official name if it has one.
