Straight cuts you can do with a razor saw but thread is the only way to get nice tight areas and curves. To start on that I also used a #77 wire gauge drill bit, then threaded a needle.
Thanks for the tip Sonoran, always wondered how exactly "cutting with thread" worked. How someone found that out I will never understand, like the guy who figured out that you could milk a cow. What the **** was he doing that he figured that out? HA!
