Thanks! It's the Alvin 18x24" self-healing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025189VE/
I'm not really "experienced," but I've made a couple. As far as I know, the best way to figure out how much foamcore you'll need is to plan out your insert before you start. Draw out all the pieces (with measurements), then figure out how they'll be laid out on the size of foamcore you can get, then add some extra in case you screw up (which, if you're anything like me, you will... several times).
As for tools - a utility knife with replaceable blades (and a whole lot of replacement blades), a self-healing cutting mat, an adjustable square, a metal ruler, some good glue, and something to help hold everything together (pins and/or ratchet clamps) are all good things to have on hand.
Good observation. This seems to be a standard work matt for doing electronics stuff, I picked mine up at my local hobby shop. Maybe something like this is what your looking for?
Don't bother. Unless you are trying, actually setting fire to a wooden countertop with a soldering iron is pretty damn hard. You would have to jam it into a heap of shavings to light a fire with it. If you really want to, you can get a mat like this.
Here's what I bought, comes in larger sizes as well. I soldered on it but its designed for cutting, if you were sloppy enough it might mar the surface.
Buy a cutting mat mate:

It'll stop your mother/girlfriend/wife from violently murdering you in your sleep for ruining a table.
Yeah, definitely. I got the Alvin 24"x18" mat and it's $17.66 and Amazon prime. I saw u/pexon had a huge one when he sent me photos of some cable ideas and thought it was perfect for keyboard stuff.
I agree with mr.godonut here. Also using a cutting mat has helped me.
Looks like a cutting mat. Think this is it!
No ar15 pics? Hows that tekmat, is it basically just typical mousepad material?
I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Alvin-Professional-Cutting-Green-Black/dp/B0025189VE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1393819838&sr=8-3&keywords=alvin+cutting+mat
