I wouldn't be without mine. Bought it off one of those Sales TV Channel places. Great piece of kit to get the joints rights on trunking Etc. And you don't have to think to do it. Set the little template, lock it in position around the angle. Set the box to the template, insert material to be cut and start sawing along the saw guide. It is that easy.
I would recommend getting one if you have a need for it. Although I got mine for one job with a load of box cutting, it has done cornice, skirt, trunk (loads of it) and lots, lots, lots more stuff. Get one.

bloody hate it when companies use that word (hard for me to walk past all thos damn jml tv's in shops where everything they sell is soddin magic)
magic is fake... tricks to make it look real, so to me any item with the word magic in it is also just a trick to make it look good..... yes watching paul bloody daniels as a kid has mentaly scared me, hence my loathing of the word magic.

Demonstrated on QVC every time I channel hopped. It seemed to do the job however the people demonstrating these things always make it look easy and never have real world cases where the plaster curves outwards by half an inch at the ceiling!

Haven't had those for years, the photos are old as I said.
Are you an optician then? I've just ordered some new specs from Glasses Direct.

My hair stopped at 5 foot 7 inches and I continued on up to 5 foot 9 and a half, so we all grow through it eventually. :-)
I used to be called myself Mr Magic. But that was for electrical installations. Although, I can make a plate of biscuits disappear before your eyes.
Don't you still get asked if you'd do a corporate gig or two a year? I love magic tricks.

Yes, I do the odd corporate gig for previous clients, a few wedding receptions & private parties by reccomendation, but nothing like as much as I used to do.
Glad to hear it - although we prefer to call them 'effects' :-)

It's magic. I still believe you can pull matter out of the air and turn it into a bunny rabbit. :-)
Nice to hear you still have an audience. We are loosing the power of illusion today. Kids, and grown ups, are more concerned with how to get their next fix of violence and fear, instead of relaxing and enjoying the power of magic.
Like the parrot said to the magician when the titanic sank "OK, the rest of your tricks were rubbish, but that one where you make the ship disappear. Fantastic" :-)
