Thing with the clipboard is that each cut leaves a raised scar so you can't lay new balsa on it without messing it up. I am out of useable space on the clipboards, so I now need to actually find something intelligent to use. Lay it on me, and please, be kind.


I like to use 1/8" thick 2' x 2' sheets of Masonite. You can pick them up readily at any Home Depot or Lowe's. They're relatively cheap, and if you get the double sided ones, they last for some time.

It's a little like using your clip board, only bigger!
