After growing up with feel inches and fractions, to being an adult and basically being forced to use metric, I must say it is a million times easier in metric and the old fashioned 3/8 and 5/16ths etc seems so stupid to me now. I like the little gadget and very well explained too.
True that. Imperial measurements are just tiniest example of the good old USA doing the objectively stupidest thing, contrary to the rest of the world having moved on.
Mr Kassan you did a great job on this video. This was precisely the clear and simple information I was looking for to mat drawings of my grandkids and a few friends. I thought about having my drawings framed at Michael’s but, I realized I could do it myself and make the entire art piece (drawing, mat and frame) more personalized. Sincere thanks my friend. Best wishes; great video. 👍🏽❤️
Thank you so much! Years ago I gave away my mat cutter, and I'm regretting that now. Your video is showing me how I can get a quality Logan cutter and use it at great savings!
Thank you for the demonstration! I’ve been getting custom mats made for my Palestinian embroidery art, but I want to start making own. This video is super helpful!
Great explanation! I have the ability to print my own panorama photos, but that is not a common mat size to have so I now need to resort to cutting my own mats. Fingers crossed. I can do it as good as you've done it.
On Ebay, at the moment, it will cost me over £11 {and another silly amount for p+p!} to have the size mount/mat I want. Now, thanks to you, I can get a cutting tool for a tenner and do it meself! Thank you.
How infuriating that stores raise the prices how they want! It's 2024 and this tool is sold at around $45-50, and according to this video it was around $15 twelve years ago! That's a 300% percent increase in price. 5:33 Thank you for the video! Very useful!
Ouch, I tried this on 1/4" foam board from the dollar store and a quilt mat to protect my table. I could not get the razor to go through the board. What is the mat board are you are using? I joined Makerspace in Rochester NY and can now make my own frames on l laser cutter. I do all kinds of pebble arts, embroider and cross stitch, none of which I have yet to frame. I am going to do this!
I've got a Logan cutter and ruler that interlock, but I can't seen to get the cutter set are the right depth. I usually cut on newspaper which ends up in shreds, but your seems to be set just right.
I cringed everytime the good side of the mat was turned and it scraped the table surface. I would put a clean sheet of paper to place it on. Also I would leave the bottom heavy, meaning thicker than the sides and top. The weight of the bottom is pleasing to the eye.
So even though you are cutting a custom matte for a specific photo, you did not have the preesence of mind to let the full edge get viewed and still insisted on a crop. You cut off the top round of the metal rod holding the bird feeder. The photographer went out of their way to not cut it off. That is what a framer is supposed to do, when easily possible; show what is in the print and not 'cut corners'. I' would ask for a recut of the matte if I were the customer.
I am 82 and agree with MJ Remy. Can't wait to try it; I will get back to you.
Great demo! 10 yrs later, it is still relevant and very useful. Many thanks!
This was very helpful! Thank you.
This video is spot on and the only one I watched because it was so thorough -- cut 3 perfectly, matching mat boards! Well done sir!
Thank you for being a brilliant teacher!! You speak so clearly so people can really understand what to do!
You sound exactly like that character actor with the NY accent from a popular sitcom....Ray, ???? Oh what's his name?
Very helpful! I've had this cutter for 8-10 years and never used it. Thank you!

Very clear demo thank you. I have just bought a Baladonia brand so I will give it a go.
Thank you very much. You saved me $100+
Excellent video! Thank you! ❤
Looks great but I was taught to always leave slightly more border at the bottom than at the top: looks better and allows for annotation
I also put a mat scrap under the one being cut so it doesn't cut the work surface.
Very helpful, thanks 😊
Nice video.
Pls how do I get the cutter?

I don’t like how the top and bottom are narrower than the sides

it’s explained perfectly at 12:00

Ruben Salazar he did mention this off center at the end of the video.
There's always one isn't there. SMH
