You just release the wire from one side and run it through a hole where the tool would be and reconnect it...when you get done with that tool cutout release the wire again and move on to the next tool, just like you would do if you were cutting shapes out of wood with a scroll saw. If you had a large toolbox of shapes completely drawn out it wouldn't even take an hour to do everything like that.
