Matrix gives us a quick run down on how to easily use cork for cobblestones. With a bit of imagination the same techniques can be used for a number of other items.

Great idea. Some of the most effective techniques are so very often low-tech. Superb.

Matrix very informative article. I will use this in upcoming projects I have a question though. I have never seen a balsa stripper or a miter box like that, could you tell me where I can pick these up? Cheers Kevin

Thanks for the comments guys! It was afun article to put together. As for the balsa stripper, it is from micromark, I ordered it out of there catologe but it should be on there web site to. The Miter cutter is a no name brand that I got at my local hobby shop. Micromark makes two styles of there own as well, so I would check them out.
Thanks again for the comments!
