I've been kicking this can down the road for years, but I finally got a job that involves cutting so much melamine board there's no way I'm doing it with a circular saw.

I watched multiple safety videos before even opening the package, and now I'm just sitting here staring at it wondering whether I should fire it up and cut off a finger or two. I'm fucking terrified of this thing.

I think too you should just get over with it and cut one or two fingers straight off. Then the ice has been broken and you can just use it without fear of loosing a finger or two.

    That's what they used to tell us when we got a new brass instrument, like a trombone or a tuba. Take your mouthpiece, and put a little ding it, where going to get a ding anyway. That way, you won't be babying it all the time, until you get your first ding. It's really kind of true.
