Wow!!! In all the many videos I have seen on You Tube over the past few years, this one is by far the best!!! Being able to cut a nice circle like this just solved a major problem for me., I love that I don't need an expensive worthless tool to do this and that I can do any size, etc. I just subscribed and I am going to go and watch s many of your other videos as I can too. Thank You so much!!! I hope you will be making more videos soon!

And having you watch more videos and likes. Spread the word :) im currently working on a series of 4 videos that will build up to a fan fave scene from original Star Wars :) stay tuned... frank.

@@dioramaworkshop You are very welcome. I cut some foam core in the past and I did learn to get nice clen crats, but gluing them with hot glue to make open boxes from them was not as nice. I need to try again with other glue - like a PVA or other glue. I was making some bins to keep parts in for my crafts.

G'day, Frank! Farken G'day from Australia. This video was what I was looking for. Thank you mate

You very welcome, sometimes the simplest videos are the most usefull :) Frank.

@OrinBoborin 2 года назад

2:50 That blade isn't used up! The score marks are meant to be broken off one by one. You can make that blade fresh another 4 times!

@dioramaworkshop 2 года назад

Yes you can snap the blade at the gap marks, but I cut with the knife lowered close to the table to get better smooth slices. This method touches 3, 4 sometime 5 sections at same time, thus need to replace entire blade.

do you have any videos to show how to do scrollwork like a scroll saw? i’m trying to cut a guitar shape out of foamcore

@dioramaworkshop 2 года назад

Not currently, I have never tried to use a scroll saw on foamcore, I would think it be too violent and rip it to shreds. Are you using a template to trace ? Is that why you want to use the saw ? I personally would do it freestyle by hand with a NEW sharp blade to round the curves and give me clean edges all the way around. I will film a video this week and post it before the weekend on how to cut curves freestyle including your shape. Maybe that will help you with your project. Frank.

What new devilry is this?? 😂😂 I bought a compass cutter but it doesn't work well on foamcore...

@dioramaworkshop 3 года назад

Are you telling me or asking me Alex ? ;) lol

@alexribeiro2778 3 года назад

@@dioramaworkshop just saying eheh the compass cutter works fine on cardboard, like you said

@dioramaworkshop 3 года назад

@@alexribeiro2778 yes I agree. The foamcore thickness just isn't really compatible with that contraptions blade.

@imirodriguez334 Год назад

How many mm is the blade?

@dioramaworkshop Год назад

Hello Iris, I like to work with the bigger standard blades... 2mm from bottom to top. The smaller half size I find too bendy and tend to curve itself, does that make sense what I am trying to say ? hope that helps you out. Frank.

@frederiqueheremans6119 2 года назад

you cant get the blad sow far, max 3 pieces. otherwise your blad goes where it wants

@dioramaworkshop 2 года назад

Are you talking about the number of circles, shapes you can cut before it gets dull again and gives you jaggy edges ?

@americafirst6408 Год назад

your not holding the circle cutter the correct way,i use mine all the time and it works perfect,it seems you are messing up on purpose for some reason because its so easy to use and it does not skip around as you did its your faulty use of the tool.

@dioramaworkshop Год назад

Not doing anything on purpose, do you have a link to how you do it ? Love to see. Frank.

@frederiqueheremans6119 2 года назад

you see it on your video, knife to long, 3 pieces brakeline and you can doe it almost halfway
