you can just use a pair of pliers to snap a row out.. its very easy and leaves little edges you can just sand down in a sec.. i find sawing them is too time consuming.. lol snap crackel pop baby

if you have sharp edges your worried about a large lighter works pretty good to
clean up the edges

I'd have to go with Pharaoh, if you have it handy use a table saw. But would recommend a quick hit with a belt sander to clean up the edges.

Where in Hawaii can I get an egg crate.
I thought egg crates were made of cardboard?

egg crate, has nothing to do with eggs. Its a name for a type of light diffuser. You can find it at most home improvement stores, like Lowes and Homedepot.

tin snips, screwdriver used as a hammer... prettymuch anything and everything works... sanding is always a good idea cuz sharp edges are sharp...
