Yeah I'm doing it how I feel comfortable doing it. This means many hours and my utility knife =)

my experience with actual blades is i end up shredding the good side somehow all the time. tape or not. I'll bet my blade is old and cheap tho.

I would screw a striaght piece of wood to stand to use as a guide and then use a router and a small bit to carve the lines, the screw holes can easily be filled with wood filler.
Then simply sand it and paint it.
