Just have fun, take your time and most important is...
MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE! :D :D
Post your progress, we wanna see.
....and please get a ruler guard!! It will save cutting your finger(s). And NEVER cut without shoes on! I have seen a lot of people who cut their fingers really bad because they didn't use the ruler guard, and at least two who, when they dropped their cutter, had to have stitches in their foot. Ouch!!
