[@YuzenKhan]

Bro you are the real MVP, thank you, ill pass my communication architecture class

[@emscottarttube]

Glad it helped.

[@DOODYDUM]

Thanks for the amazing video! It was super informative and helpful for a pop art project I'm working on in art.

It's a self-healing cutting mat. They can be found in any arts and craft store or online store.

[@lucassacdalan8427]

Thanks! I've been wondering what type of mat was used.

[@katkond]

thanks!

[@emscottarttube]

Unfortunately, I think that when cutting through thick cardboard or paper, the blade goes dull very quickly. It can be a hassle to change a utility knife blade, but they make a box cutter with snap off blades. That might be more convenient.

I am trying to cut lots of shapes out of 2-ply corrugated cardboard and my utility knife gets blunt very often... What else can I use for cutting? Thanks!

This looks like additive sculpture. Have you ever considered gluing a bunch of cardboard together first then carving away from like subtractive style? What are your thoughts?

[@emscottarttube]

Daniel, I never really thought about it. I'm not certain what you would use to carve away the cardboard.

[@danielhall67]

I had the same wonder about what tools would be used. I have seen some things that looked like they were carved out of a big block of layered cardboard. I'm trying to figure out how they do it. Must be a saw of some kind?

Cardboard Rules!

This is very good but blimey its long!! It needed a bit of time-speeding up.

[@admiralwoody330]

Where can I get that green measure/coordiante thingy?

[@omelettedufromage1586]

It's a cutting mat, try hobby lobby, or any of your local hobby shops and/or craft stores

[@danielhall67]

What kind of glue do you recommend?

[@danielhall67]

Brand, that is...

[@emscottarttube]

It's just plain white Elmer's Glue that I use in the video.

Found an ergonomically-designed box cutter with a ceramic blade, that does not make my carpal tunnel syndrome flare up as quickly, for only 23 dollars and change, online.

2:21 That is so counter-intuitive.

You literally used at least to mean at most.
