---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Michael, You really do deserve full marks for enthusiasm and application, but I honestly do think that your are "taking coals to Newcastle" with this felt cutting business. In most good workshops and apprentice training the cutting of cloth and felt in straight lines with a basic straightedge is a fundamental requirement for embarking on good quality piano work. Over the years new tools and materials have come along which can make some jobs easier. I think that the Spurlock cutting block for angled cuts on damper felt is super, but for basic cutting of cloth and and thin felt, the thin steel straightedge with sandpaper on one side is so easy and straightforward. As I said in an earlier post I personally like to use scalpels for some of this fine cutting. Also with some damper felt applications, straightedge trimming of the backing material to the white felt itself gives you a far better finish than trying to replicate the width of the backing to the damper felt.
