+There are a few things I learned from this book, in no particular order:
+
+- When cutting paper, invest in a decent paper cutter. A ruler and x-acto knife works, but can dull the blade when shaving bits of metal off the ruler by acccident
+- Invest in a few clamps to hold down the ruler, or it will slip and you will waste paper
+- When cutting, you need to apply pressure against the ruler or the blade will stray, wasting paper
+- Applying a chamfer to the corners is completely unneeded with enough precision - a gentle taper will work just fine
+- When doing work in multiple places, being sure to return your tools to your toolkit means nothing if you forget to return your project to your kit as well
