I need cutting tools - can nzLARPS shout them?

For prop production in the Nibelungen project (disclaimer: project not approved yet) I need to do some precision cutting. I’m keen to get the society to buy some of the kit for that - partially so it gets something out of it and partially because my budget is continuously mushrooming :wink:
Can I grab a cutting mat and some blades on the society? Obviously they’d get to keep them after my few days of use.

eg.
A3 cutting mat
Precision knives

Probably ~$50 worth. Reckon we’d use them again?

[size=75]The fact that I’m asking will likely make more sense after I present the project at the SGM.[/size]

Having personally seen crew damage surfaces for the want of something like a cutting mat, I would support this (subject to the project being approved).

Precision knives would also be useful because we can use them to create detailed kit, and craft knives have only a limited level of precision.

If they end up in the nzLarp gear lib, after reasonable wear and tear, then Okay.

I have an A5 mat of this type. they aren’t “self healing” as stated, but the cuts do close up flush, and do protect your desk top.

talking of cutting equipment…and out of interest for possible projects in the future…

does any one here own a standing band saw or a hand held power jig saw?

this came up when we were doing the columns

I have a jigsaw. You can get them for $20.00

I have a skillsaw and a jigsaw but they’re pretty busy at my place building Nibelungen at the moment.
