Have been wondering about this for a while, does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy it? Is it really easy to use?

That sounds very similar. Trying to see from the photos. Do you rate it?

I have this

Got mine from the Paper Mill shop for about £16.99 from what I can remember. For simple folding, I use mine all the time. If you have a PaperMill near you, ask for a demo. It is marvelous, speeds up folding you own cards, and when you can buy your card for well under 10p a sheet, it will save you money in the long run.

There are several types, some are better at making boxes than other, but TBH I haven't tried that yet, so I can't comment!

[Dingle]

stupid, stupid link!!

try here


That's better!

[SoupDragon]

Is this not just a bit of wood with some cunningly placed grooves on it and an edge to butt up against?

[anorak]

Oh I like the look of that.

It's my birthday in July, have to put one of those on my list

That's if I don't get one at Bolton next Saturday.

[Dingle]

Yes soupy, it is!! Disgusting price for a lump of wood with a few grooves in! But it's a very clever lump of wood!

[pootlepod]

Thank you all I like the fact you can do some fancy cards with it. Do you think they sell it in Hobbycraft, I am off there newxt week and it will save on postage.

[SoupDragon]

So, it's nothing that a dad with a router couldn't knock up out of an off-cut of MDF then...

[Dingle]

Wouldn't let DH lose with his router but anyone with a bit of experience could make one up I am sure.

[anorak]

Lead me to your dad soupy!

[SoupDragon]

Blimey, I wouldn't let my DH anywhere near a router either but my dad is quite reliable Oh, except for the time he planed his fingertips off. And sliced a tendon in a finger on some glass... no, no, he's perfectly trustworthy with sharp implements.

[pootlepod]

soupdragon, if your DH/dad can make one and beat £14.99 I'm sure they'll be a lot of takers.

(Why didn't I take more notice in CDT lessons in school?)

[SoupDragon]

hehehe. Just need to work out where the lines go! I shall spend all evening folding bits of paper...

[SoupDragon]

Surely it's patented or something though - couldn't sell them!

[pootlepod]

I wouldn't tell

[AuntyQuated]

hello
i doubt very much whther you could make one so preise... when you fold your card each one is slightly 'out' by about .5mm so it can be opened easier, it is a very clever doo-dah.


however i don't think it is patenetd as mine has a sticker on the back saying 'patent pending'

[TheOldDragon]

Ooooh, there's a challenge

[AuntyQuated]

let me know how you get on

i could measure the spaces for you if it will help

[SoupDragon]

That's OK I need to give it some thought... and let my dad's finger heal

[Carolinett]

They're easy to make aslong as your dad has a piece of 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick MDF, a peice of 12 inch x 1 inch x 1/2 inch wood and a router.
Your dad will know all that

I made mine when I saw they were £15.00. I bought the accu-crease took the measurements, marked it out on the MDF then took the accu-crease back saying my sister had bought me one and got my money back. Naughty I now but you have to be crafty he he.
I used to do wood work before I started card making filled the house with Italian designed coffee tables then got fed up after making load for friends

[SoupDragon]

tut tut tut

Obviously making it up from a picture from the internet and a folded piece of paper is so much more moral!
