Kieth, Thanks for the tip, my Xacto Knife is working well for me… Midwest Products is the first place I went. If you click on those products listed they are “temporarily out of stock” and have been for some time. Northeastern Scale Lumber is here in MA And is a good company as well. -
Thanks Keith, The Smallest wood I could get at Northeastern Scale Lumber. (O Scale 1” x 2”) Laid flat for the trim and on its side for the sash. That and a steady hand. 😜 TEDIOUS! The trick is getting them all the same size. LOL 😂 John
