Go to the local music shop get a guitar string(you might want to do this when you get the cutting board). Go out and steal two nails from the guys working on your house cut the tip and head off the nails (cut to and inch long). Take the guitar string and tie it to the nails to either end. Then take the one nail and put it in the slot you cut in the bottem of the board stringing the guitar sting up threw the slot you cut on the edge. put the cheese on the board so where you want to cut is over the slot. Useing the other nail as a handle pull the guiter string threw the cheese(this should work on any soft and simi soft cheese).
Just another great Idea I'm stealing from Alton Brown.

There are actual wire cheese slicers available at any grocery store for about $3-4...if you go for the homemade one, you might want to specify an unwound guitar string, & since they come in a variety of guages, probably thinner is better, like a high E string (.012 to .008)...
& pre-sliced cheese isn't that pricey compared to a trip to the ER ;) |
