Cutting-Edge Sudoku Tricks

[3,333 patrons reached! New puzzle hunt has been RELEASED on Patreon - see below for details!]

Today's puzzle is by Lucy Audrin and it's another gorgeous thermo sudoku - it's called Four Scissors for some reason ;)

You can play the puzzle at the link below:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/6dtFphTTqg

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along thermometers digits must increase from the bulb end. Digits in circles must appear in the four cells surrounding the circle.

BONUS VIDEO on Patreon:
Simon has released a bonus video on how to solve this Yajilin puzzle by Mitchell Lee (of Miracle Sudoku fame).
https://puzz.link/p?yajilin/b/11/11/l0.a21a0.a0.a0.m0.a0.a0.a22a0.m41a0.a0.a0.a0.m0.a0.a12a0.a0.m0.a0.a0.a0.a0.l

Rules:
Blacken some white cells and then draw a single closed loop (without intersections or crossings) through all remaining white cells. Blackened cells cannot share an edge with each other. Some cells are outlined and in grey and cannot be part of the loop. Numbered arrows in such cells indicate the total number of blackened cells that exist in that direction in the grid.
