Mitre Block
   
Razor saw
Try Square

Notes on Tools:

Mitre Block -
1 - These are available in plastic and aluminium versions.
           I use the plastic type - perhaps the aluminium blocks damage the saw blade?
2 - Always use a piece of scrap timber in the well of the mitre block to protect the base.

Razor Saw -
1 - These are available as either a blade to fit into the craft knife or as a separate saw.
           I use the blade but constant changing between cutting blade and razor saw
           became a nuisance and a second handle was purchased.
2 - There are several grades, fine, medium and coarse.
           I have the three versions but always use the medium, this cutting dolls house
           furniture parts satisfactorily.

Try Square -
1 - These are available with either a wood handle or an all metal version when it is often
           known as an Engineer's Square.
2 - Either style is suitable but do get the miniature version with a blade about 3" (75 mm) long.
