ottery Illustrated: X-Acto Knife Hacks

Swap out the standard X-Acto blade for more complex blades to make different marks and cuts in clay. Customize the tool by making your own inserts out of lengths of wire, a bit of sponge, coins for boring keys in molds, a drill bit, a piece of a hacksaw blade, and shapes made of credit cards and strip steel.
