    Peter, I totally agree with you. The mold cutting devices seem
    cumbersome and I have never felt the need for one. 

    In addition to the church key I use an ordinary spring loaded clamp
    found at any hardware store that is fixed to my bench with a C
    clamp. I start the mold cutting process with the church key and move
    over to the spring loaded clamp after the locks have been completed. 

    Sure mold cutting this way can result in cut fingers but the
    likelihood of that diminishes with experience. How many of us can
    look at our hands at any given time and not find a cut, scab or scar
    anyhow.
