ok then use a large y shaped branch off a tree, a hardwood tree. Use
knots and hot glue to secure the wire also wrap it several times around
(4-5) each y part of the branch end to help prevent slipage and retain it
tautness...or stop whinging and just use a knife....Mount the wire
between 2 metal rods, grasp rods 1 in each hand...spread arms to tighten
the wire...cut cheese. Or use a knife. Invest in a manual jigsaw blade
and use that on harder cheeses....Or you could use a knife . Stop eating
cheese...or you might use a knife. Invent the long bow in miniture using
the wire as the bowstring, that will keep things tight...or you could
consider use a knife. Personally I use a knife and think cheese cutters
are for wusses.
