I may have to cut back on watching trash journaling videos before bed. I definitely had a dream about putting junk mail in my oatmeal

Has anyone used one of these circle cutters from fiskars?
Iāve had this a while and forgot I had it and used it to cut all my circles in my collages.
What a PITA.
I NEED 3 hands. One to hold the top down. One to hold the paper still and one to rotate. I used one hand to hold the top and the paper but my hands are kinda small and it left my hand hurting.
Also there is no precision. Yes there is a ruler but no āmarker ā to line the ruler numbers up with. I had to guess and cut a few sample circles to see how big they were.
Anyone use any better circle cutter?
I do have a cricuit but I donāt like cutting papers with many layers of paint and gesso on my cricuit

I have some heavy duty circle cutters like this from Amazon. I use them to cut through everything including sticky backed magnetic sheets

I have a 2.5" one that doesnāt cut through thicker paper smoothly. and I have a 3/4" and 1"
I guess I will have to go buy a better 2.5" one and look at getting a 1.5 and a 2" one. was hoping for 1 tool for many circle sizes.

I have one but havenāt used it much at all.
lol I put mine in the giveaway pile since I never use itā¦then I pulled it out to try and use it one more timeā¦it did not even cut through printer paper without a lot of mashing down and repetitive turnsā¦Now I am putting it in the trashā¦
I do have some really nice circle punches, heavy duty, but the biggest circle I have is only about 2 inches.

I use the mini Tim Holtz die cut machine, the Sidekick? But it only cuts 2ā wide. Itās great for small things. But I also have another small die cut machine called Evolution by WeRMemoryKeepers. The width is 4 or 5 inches.
I use the EK Success punches too but with 50/50 success rate.
Another whatever journal page with the piece I got from the makerspaceās Random Acts of Art board.

Yay for a rescheduled zoom - boo for Daylight Savings!
Looking forward!
Yay! Looking forward to it 
I voted yes, but Iāll be honest ā I may be a game-time decision if springing forward knocks me down.
