That is, until I had to do some matting for a coach's gift (again, too cheap to pay $60 for two simple mats and too impatient to wait a week). Here's my first crack... $45 for a mat cutter, $16 for mat boards (I still have left overs) and $17 for the frame. When I get some free time, I'll redo the outer mat as the card cutouts aren't quite as clean as I'd like, but it'll do for now.
Erick, awesome display. Wondering if you can provide some detail on how cards are secured? Are they loose and laid into cut out, then pressed against glass to hold secure? Or is something else going on that is not obvious?

Thanks!
