My tools are simple and few in number. I use a small (400 x 100mm) cutting mat, a 150mm steel rule, a scalpel (a No 3 Swann Morton for those who like detail) with a straight blade (10A). That sorts out all of my cutting needs. For folding I like to use an empty biro (Bic medium) but do find that a little hit and miss as the scored line is a little way from the rule so I have to allow a mill or so. Alternatively I have a knife (pictured) which is intentionally blunt and I can score nice and close to the rule with that as long as I'm careful.For glueing I've tried UHU which I kind of like but the stringiness is a bit of a pest so I've mostly been using PVA. I have some Mod Podge which is more expensive than most. I suspect cheaper PVA would work just as well. For large areas I spread it with my finger, for little tabs I use a cocktail stick. I find the back of the scalpel handle useful (if held very carefully) to just press down tabs inside of buildings once they are in position and not slipping about. It seems to just help to get a nice clean square edge.  I do sometimes use the steel rule to press edges flat or to make sure things are square or in line. It's just a useful straight edge.The only other thing I use is a nice flat fairly solid base. I have a 400 x 500 piece of 20mm plywood with some formica on the top which I salvaged from a skip years ago. It makes a nice solid wipe-clean surface but I also sometimes just use an A4 sized hardback book.I'm interested to hear what others use.
