Remember when we all used to cut board with a straight edge and a knife?

I used to spend an hour just getting a clean cut on a single piece of Davey board with a metal ruler and a utility knife. My hand would cramp up halfway through. Then about five years ago, I bought a cheap guillotine cutter from a closing print shop in Tacoma for $150. It changed everything. Now I can cut a full set of covers in under ten minutes. What's the one old-school method you were happy to finally give up?

Honestly, remember trying to hand-cut mat board for framing? Tbh, I wasted so much good board on crooked cuts.

Yeah, that guillotine cutter sounds like a lifesaver. @wesley_fox92, what was the worst crooked cut you ever had to try and fix?
