Logan Model 450 Intermediate Mat Cutter with Free Video Review

The Logan 450 lets you make perfect mats with consistency and accuracy. It handles full sized 32 x 40 mat boards and both 1/8" and 3/16" foam core boards. This is a big, solid, well-made device. You need the top of a table or workbench to use it. There's a smaller model (Logan 250) that takes 20 x 16 mat board, but it's more economical to buy the 32 x 40 boards.
I bought it because I make 8x10 and 11x14 prints often enough to make it a worthwhile convenience. There's a huge choice of colors if you go to an art store and buy full sheets of mat board rather than pre-cut mats, and the cost of a full sheet is about the same as one precut 8x10 or 8x12 precut mat.
Just follow the instructions very carefully, and take your time. There's a DVD packed inside that worth looking at - maybe worth looking at a couple of times. The printed instruction book is quite clear. There's a stop included for repetitive cuts that makes it easy to cut two or three mats exactly the same size.
You may also want a 16" or longer steel or aluminum ruler. If you're careful, you won't need to do any touch-up surgery with a utilty knife (razor knife) but it's not a bad idea to have one close by just in case.

AMACO Polymer Clay & Craft Oven Review

AMACO Polymer Clay and Craft Oven

I hate that the timer button is the on/off button, but I use it as an of/off button and not primarily as a timer, even though I've never had a problem with it getting stuck. Also, it heats up fast, so I set the knob a little past 20 and I can pretty much leave my work in there and go about my business. I'm stuck in Iraq so I love the small size and I like the pieces that I have made thus far, although I did overcook a batch or too. I use it all the time now and I'm very happy with it for price and for availability.

Lake City Craft Quilling Fringer Review

I have one of these. It can be a pain to operate sometimes but it does make your fringe uniform and saves time, usually. Some papers are a hair to wide and it wont feed them, some are a hair to thin and the fringe isn't as uniform, not that is shows after you roll your flower. The blade on mine was lose from day one and not only moves up and down but back and forth also. I can't find any where that you can tighten it. It says it can be adjusted for a different width paper also but as far as I can see if you loosen any one of the screws, nothing moves to allow for a different width of paper. As far as directions go, I've given you more then what comes with the package. Mine was brand new when I bought it, so it's still sharp but if you buy a used one I've heard that the blade can be worn out and has to be repositioned for it to cut again, good luck with that. This little dilly isn't worth the money and you will be much better off practicing fringing by hand. I understand the 90% fringer runs around $70, I bet it's not worth it either, and when you consider that they only cut two sizes of paper strips you can see why.
