Today I decided to be brave and cut some of the finishing trim for our Pergo that has been languishing for longer than I care to admit. And... you can tell that since I'm typing, all of my fingers are intact. I consider that a major victory. Huzzah! I got the trim cut, my kids were suitably impressed once they noticed it, and I got a great sense of accomplishment for finishing something that has been bugging me for so long. Not to mention facing my irrational (but real) fear that by using any sort of cutting implement, I'd be making myself susceptible to the family curse.
So what was this terrifying machine?
The Harbor Freight/Chicago Electric Multifunction Power Tool and it is awesome! The price was right, and it did a great job. I'd post a picture, but I don't want to "steal bandwidth" like the blogger article I just read talked about.
Also, I was careful to wear safety glasses, gloves, and a mask like the instructions suggested, and felt the better for it. Safety first!
