[pianotech] Cutting Felt

Get the rotary cutter. Not to take business away from our vendors, but you might be able to find one at a fabric store. Be sure to also get the pad on which to cut the felt. it gives you a nice flat, clean surface that won't dull the blade.

This may be mundane, but I haven't cut too much felt yet. Going into this rebuild I see I'll need to cut quite a bit, and almost ordered the Rotary pizza wheel from Pianotek. But, I looked into hardware stores instead, to no avail. Then I thought I can just use scissors. But then I'd need to buy nice scissors anyway. I feel like potentially the Rotary cutter will be the easiest, most fun method. Any takers?
