There is a 3% chance I will ever use these in my life but I 100% love that they exist, are so useful, and handmade by people.

Gerard is an amazingly talented guy. He brings a lot of love and skill to the hobby.

just ordered a full set of the jigs to mod out my new proxxon, can't wait to use 'em and i added a note to my order i was inspired by your vid. keep up the good work buddy.

Congratulations, you have single-handedly convinced me to ask for a Proxxon for Christmas!

I finally ordered the 2.0 today. Told them BMC sent me. Can't wait to get it. I never thought I'd want one of these until I got my Proxxon and expanded my cutting abilities which has made my projects go faster and with more precision. I see now that the GP 2.0 will only expand and improve my abilities and results even more.

I obviously can't recommend these jigs enough. Pro Tip, to keep the jigs from sliding around on you while cutting, lay a small piece of paper towel between the groove of the table and the tab of the jig. This provides enough resistance to keep you from having to hold on to it while cutting, freeing up your second hand.

Just bought the Guider Pro and gave you a shout out on his message! Thanks!

Great demo, can't wait to see the others!!! So true about the fence that comes with the table.

Just bought a proxon off the back of your recommendation. Well, my wife watches your channel and really wanted one. All good really. Hope you show lots of demos on how all these cool guides work and cool things to make :) Great channel. Great stuff. Thanks

Bought one and a proxxon. Work very well together. The shifting sands tool is awesome for those long tall cuts

LOVE THESE JIGS!!!!!! Just started watching and your videos are sssssooooo helpful!! Thinking of getting this cutter and now know I also need jig

Finally pulled the trigger on a guider pro. Gerard was great to deal with and shipping was fast to Canada. Can't wait to set it up and get going. Thanks to BMC for introducing this product and for the great experience purchasing from Shifting Lands. Cheers!

I watched Gerards channel shortly after I realized I wanted a proxxon hotwire table. His accessories were as integral in making me buy a table as your channel was.

Thanks J! I have his Arch Template set which is awesome as well :)... Don't forget to mention he also crafts some AMAZING terrain pieces and buildings too. Super great guy, and glad to see you giving him some more exposure!

So I have a useful tip for using various jigs, particularly when production lining large runs of something... So... simply disassemble, remove and recycle the original tightening/clamping mechanism for holding the rip fence in place (you don't need it anymore, man that thing was ugh). It's not too hard to drill a new slot hole to fit the mechanism to your mdf board etc. I use this in particular for actually replacing the original rip fence entirely, but could also be used on other jigs you might frequently use.

I just ordered this guided pro. Nice little bday present for myself lol

Great Video, useful to know!

This is on my xmas wish list!

Could you use the angle cutter set at 90 degrees to do the same job AND cut angled cuts? It would mean the foam's sliding on MDF instead of metal, so a bit more friction, perhaps.

I've been wanting that fence since I saw it on TWS- Tabletop Workshop; and then saw John Suski using it in his incredible builds. This is a very good demo on it and makes me want it even more!!! It's definitely on my wish list.... :)

Nice to see some legit aftermarket tools, made for the purpose, entering the scene. Reminds me of a bandsaw fence.

Finally got around to ordering a Guider Pro! Hyped, should be here in a couple of weeks (had to order from the Euro Store to ship to Eastern Canada).

at 4:58 The problem that I have with the rip fence is when it deflects mid cut. when trying to cut bigger pieces, I have had it happen to me to the point I have started taping the fence end down at the far end so that I can guide/hold with two hands. Really looking forward to getting my Guider and Shiftboard. And yah, vertical sucks.

I have the guider pro and the circle cutter, they are awesome. Well worth it.

Black Magic Craft has already sold me on a proxxon and green stuff world rollers, now I need a bunch of shifting lands stuff AND a mini-table saw. XD

Very nice ! I will order them today ! Now i have a way to cut my foam tiles thinner! Only got 10cm plates to buy in my town

They actually have a USA location now in Maine. I'm on looking at stuff now and shipping is like $10 to PA for a Guider Pro 2.0. Definitely ordering some stuff once I get my proxxon :)

Has anyone seen or used his shapeshifter tool for proxxon cutter. It’s amazing. The shapes you can make are flawless.

Gond bless the design-fu of the Dutch.

Great jigs. If you have that table saw he mentioned and are a woodworker, you could make the tall fence yourself and save the shipping.

Great review, thank you!

Shifting lands tools for the hot wire table are invaluable!!!

I wish to know what accessories you recommend me to cut perfectly and cut straights and parallel, I wish to do a perfect square, please?

The Tools are awesome, Met him in Person 👍🏻

Subbed to your channel today, after ordering the proxxon cutter. Sadly I'm allergic to other forms of social mafia, other then Youtoob. Conveniantly though, I live in the Nethurlands, so getting these specific tools is going to be easy. I'll make sure to mention you when I do 😀

Just ordered mine now

Great guide and advice, I am buying tools from Shifting Lands JUST because of YOU, he should pay you a commission : UPDATE Just bought the Proxxon {because of you and I told them} and the Guider Pro set {also because of you and I told them lol} Thank you againfor the great advice

I kind of wish the 2.0 was around when I bought mine, but all in all I think this thing is an amazing add on item. Even with the shipping included the price is very worth it and reasonable.

Would like to see your thoughts on the Tool nr.5 Multi Purpose Tool And the Dome cutter If you've had the chance to use them.

have you had a chance to use the angle cutter? I just got it and unable to find a video on how to use it. Any way you can show how this jig is used

I love mine and cutting Styrodur wouldn't be half as much fun without them

So I'm watching this. I feel the proxxon for a few years now. The Fatal flaw what's not being able to lock the guide in place is that you cannot use it in a hands-free situation. I actually set up a platform to support 2 by 2 foot 2 inch foam and 34 by 22 in 2in foam. Getting a very straight cut is really important. And yes when you're cutting something that big, that cusses skinny little metal bar does indeed flare out it is indeed enough pressure to make it screw up your work. See your thinking small. But I'm thinking clean edges on the tables that I send to my customers. I buy my phone foam at a hardware store like most people do. For a little while I was able to get the guys in the lumber place fuse that big upright saw table used for plywood and other things dissection out my 8 by 4 foot boards for me. Nice and clean cuts. But there's a problem. They exactly the moratorium on that absolutely no cutting a phone. They claim that it melts to the blade but I've never seen that happen and I don't think that's the problem. I think the problem is that they likely sell their sawdust to people who make particle boards pressed wood products. And if there's any Styrofoam in the mix they can't sell it. All that to say that leaves me with a 4-foot t-square a good sharp exacto knife and my proxxon to clean up shift the edges. So in a way This Magnificent attachment and Tool is worth absolutely nothing to me if I can't lock it in place and I can't depend on my hands to not be a little shaky then is a useless thing. It can't be stabilized I can't use it.

got almost all tools now ! jay

Just order one the one that came with the proxxon well it's good for scrap metal

Shiftin' Glands!? That's the first thing I saw when I looked at the URL for Shifting Lands. All jokes aside though, these look like great tools.

Really curious about the circle cutter!

Love your videos buddy. You do need to tell people that these products do not come assembled and this is not an out of the box solution. One tool was 40+ pieces that has to be glued together perfectly if not you will not get square cuts.

Thank you!!!

guys I just bought some of these awesome tools, I have a question about the assembly, I never used wood so I am in a little empasse, wich glue should I use?

if I buy the 5 in 1 do I need the guide pro,?

Do these jigs work with the Hercules hot wire cutter model 8500? On amazon the reviews say it is compatible with both i just wanna get some confirmation is this is true

Any plans to do more videos on Shiftinglands products?

I don't see the link for a video trying out the guider pro version 2.

I was wondering if you have any other videos on the other jigs from shifting. I noticed you have the angle cutter and a circle better like to see these in action. I just ordered the gator pro wish I would’ve got the 2.0 but I didn’t I would like to place an order for the circle cutter and angle to you if you could let me know if you have plans for doing those reviews I would appreciate it

Just took the plunge and bought the Glider Pro 2.0 and gave a shout to your KZfaq channel. Now the waiting begins...

Is there any way to get a Proxxon saw to cut wider than 5.5 inches, like 6 or12"?

Cool stuff, been wondering about how it works.

bought proxxon cutting table and was disappointed with the directions, but the worst is that the guide will only slide half way into groove so I can't get close cuts. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just ordered guider pro like you said sh#! About to get real lol

I really admire Gerard's work. His tools are awesome. However, I use a large LEGO DUPLO cuboid wall and therefore do not really need the slider. Tool no.5 is worth looking into as it facilitates cutting angles. I also like his gothic and roman arch templates. These are difficult to build at home.

My proxxon struggles to cut a piece of 4mm thick foam with the temperature set to max(6). The wire glows red. Any thoughts about what my be wrong? Thanks, Earl Jones

Almost a year since making this video, which jigs would you say are the absolute most essential in your arsenal? I think having a jig is important, but I don't want to buy a whole set of them, most of which I might not use.

Could you do demos of the other tools as well?

What glue did you use to assemble your guider? (PVA, wood glue, super glue, other?)

I purchased the Proxxon thermocut some time ago. I have considered buying Shifting lands Guider Pro stuff. Is it worth the money if you only craft from time to time as I do?

Anyway to buy one in the US or any other product from shiftinglands

FYI, there is now a US shop. The shipping for the Glider Pro 2.0 for me was only $8.99.

I bought this proxxon and it was working fine but the wire broke and now I can’t get a new piece treaded threw the gold piece. I was wondering if foam melts and it clogs the hole. Do you have this problem and is there a way to clean it out so I can thread it.

I only see shipping to Europe. Do you know by chance if this updates itself? Perhaps I should direct question direct to them. In any event great review of one of the tools I’m interested in. Would have made choice easier had you did a side by side comp between the two versions.

Would you know if the Shape Shifter Proxxon Accessory can be fitted to a Hercules 8500 Series Foam Wire Cutter? I mostly model in 1/35 scale or 55 mm. From what I am reading are these accessories primarily for 22 mm modelling?

It's a great video but one more directed toward proxxon wire cutting. I'll never buy it (not enough space) so it's meh for me. Looking forward to the next crafting video :)

Not available anymore?

Just got my proxxon ordered but shifting lands shipping to USA is 5 weeks. Yikes. Im just going to make a rip fence.

What do you think of the texture rollers at Shiftinglands do they work well with XPS?

Hi, I went on the website to order the tools and they said that they don't ship to the USA. I was ready to buy the whole set. Such a let down. Is there another way I can get these items? Thanks

I finally broke down and ordered a proxxon after trying to make do with knives and failing over and over to make it work, i cant get straight cuts, certainly can get anything square, the foam snaps and tears if your not super careful and getting consistent size bricks is a lot of work. My xps is hard and brittle too idk why if anyone in australia know where to get the good stuff let me know, this yellow bunnings stuff is garbage. Definitely will want at least the square guide too.

I have a question I have similar foam to Gerard but am I still able to make my models the way you do or do I have to do it the way Gerard does. Please respond to this for me.

Very cool

Just FYI your links don't work anymore to purchase those Guider pro's etc.

can you get cut or burned by touching the wire? Also are you a Dale Hawerchuk fan?

Are planning to add this awesome tools and its descriptions to your website?

Have you already made a video on the other products yet?

Is the Tool stable enought against tourque, it looks like 2mm MDF. Isn't it?

Tell him to sell on Amazon. He ships a bunch of stock of his items to an Amazon warehouse in the U.S. and they bill him $2 for them to fulfill the order. This way everyone in the U.S. gets free 2-day shipping and he saves on shipping costs to the U.S. because he ships everything at once.

I'd love to get a Guider Pro but that shipping is a dealbreaker.

Excuse my name Fabio rolla from Italy if possible to buy?

Where did you get your cap?? I would love to have one!!

BMC my honest opinion about the guider pro and the other products: they are to expensive, as you said the guider pro is just a 90 degree mdf angle and it relies on the users pressure, i would rather spend my time and ressources on finding a tall enough aluminium bar to exchange the proxxon one

Are you still using these 4 years later or is there better tools now?

Is it christmas already??? Well looks like for you it is. Nice.

Anyone know of an alternative to Shifting Lands? I would LOVE a guider, or literally anything they make, but I cannot begin to bring myself to shell out over $70 after shipping to Texas. Its just too much money. It pains me to admit that honestly because I can tell from all the comments just how great these are. Is there even a domestic equivalent ? If not, can anyone tell me what the material is they are made out of? Laminate? Perhaps I can jerry rig something that would work out. *edited a word

I would love to get one of these, but the cost of shipping is nearly as much as the item (€22 and the item is just under €28) and that is too much. I think I will see what I can make instead

I notice even your cuts have that rippling effect. I still haven't figured out a solution to this.

Its 7", but in reality 5.5". I doubt you are the first man to make that claim and have it proven wrong. >D I honestly thought you had build those guides yourself...I somehow missed this whole set of videos...now I am contemplating spending monies...

I vote for seeing the circle cutter...

So jelly.... I need to go to Jelly school.

also, this guy teaches how to make a home wire cutter. Sorry that's not in English, but you can use the CCs and try to get what he's doing by context by what you see him do. it takes a tic-tac box, 2 hashis, a 9v battery, some glue, insulating tape, screws, pins, electric wires (copper) and iron wire (string). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLOofJyj0dXYkac.html

This is a great video. I'm trying to figure out what I want to invest in, and this makes the uses extremely clear. But, I do really wish people would stop using inches to describe things. It's such a weird and niche measurement for most people.

You should try out this thing: www.shiftinglands.com/shop/tools/61-cylinder-press-for-acrylic-rolls.html
