I recently watched a nicely produced video of a small table saw I was told was suitable for modelers because of the relatively low cost and size. T e video itself

I fi nd this method has a lot of advantages over other processes I have seen (and tried). It is very controllable, produces predictable results, is relatively clean (in terms of its impact on your working space—there are no strong long-lasting aromas from materials I use), is quick to create, and looks very realistic.
