The object of this instructable is to, while creating or doing projects, is to think about safety while using tools.
I have singled out cutting , because I am currently slicing a lot of vinyl in projects and thought it would be an opportune time
to show some safety tips and and inexpensive cutter guides for blades, that can be made on the cheap . If you've price a cutter guide .you might be shocked at the cost. I was.

I'm a firm believer in the re-use/recycle of stuff. with a little thought scrap items and junk just laying around can be turned into useful
tools
Items I put together:
1. mini-din rail- 50 cents from a scrap enclosure
2. threshold for carpet- neighbors trash
3. drawer/door handles- stripped from old cabinets over the years

My solution looks remarkably like yours, just dinkier. Driven by an instinctual desire to get my hand away from the action, I applied a metal screen door handle to a large metal ruler using adhesive (hasn't moved in almost two years, hey!) which coincidentally makes it harder to lose my ruler.
If I may suggest, I sprung $17 for an OSHA rated cutting glove from Grainger. It allows better dexterity than the all-purpose jobs I see you using there, and shows no signs of ever wearing out. Just a thought. Cheaper than any hoo-hoo kitchen store I could find with them, and I needed it for there, too. ;)
