Can you afford a table saw? Do you have room for a table saw? You need a table saw. I wish I had a table saw.

I don't have a table saw, or space for one, and probably can't afford one right now either. I am making use of Lowes' and Home Depot's "cut it for you" service when you buy their wood though.

That sucks. They don't give a shit and suck at cutting. At least get a miter saw.

God but that's the truth. And half the problem is they can't measure things. Luckily if you call them out on it usually they'll just keep retrying until you're happy-ish, at no extra cost. But if you bought the only piece of x by x wood in the entire store, you're fucked. There's no way they cut it right in one try.

The extent of their measurement skill is "Make it fit in my car."

Yes, that is on the list.
