It's good to see you over in the model side of the forums.
Living in Dreamland; not the Dream
I was surprised to see the track cut with side-cutters. Thought that would flatten a depression on the rail, but, I've never tried it either. I used a handled hack- saw blade to cut a track clean.

Fair enough, I acquired a new camera recently for the new video! We dig further into the basics from the beginning on, we did have a video for benchwork and roadbed but I scrapped it to come out with this new video!
In this edition we will discuss proper benchwork, along with laying down cork properly. We hope this video finds to help you on your first Model Railroad Layout!

Surprised no one else commented, or maybe I just didn't see it. They are not actually "side cutters" as in electrical work, but "flush cut rail nippers". They have hardened jaws and make a straight across cut on one end and a pointed cut on the other.
I use the flush cut rail nippers and have had great success with them...the only issues come when I'm trimming a small piece and it goes shooting off to never be found again, until I step on it.

Which is why I always wear hardsoled shoes and do NOT let my dogs in the train room, at least until I have vacuumed the floor!
I have the flush rail nippers and had the same issue with the tiny pieces.
Good series so far.
