Scott, thank you. I weathered the utility pole with india ink, a method I learned from Lynn (wgrider). I use a metal ruler for cutting big parts, but most of the time I use this triangle.

All those parallel and rectangular lines help to place it precisely and very often you even don’t have to draw lines before cutting. You only have to take care not to cut into the triangle and damage it. But even though cutting with a stright edge comes natural to me as I am used to cutting paper and cardboard from my job for more than 20 years now, I have to replace the triangle from time to time.
