Durston disc cutting heaven

Well after buying a cheap disc cutter and returning it after one use, i used all my money (and some of my gorgeous husbands) to invest in a durston.
What a revelation, for years my husband has said to me when it comes to tools (he was a hgv mechanic) always buy the best. And i always said i could manage with cheaper.
Well i take it all back, the durston disc cutter cost a little under £200! but has been worth every penny.
I think being able to cut perfect circles helped me no end when it came to inspiration, bizarre though it sounds.
I have been cutting away like a woman possessed and using a lot of gorgeous discs in my latest makes.
Even the washer was made using the cutter, i'm sure many of you have various cutters pepe etc and felt just like this when you first got them. Or maybe i'm a little over excited (who knows?).
