Ok, so this isn't anything special, it's just something I can get at the local hardware store. That's what I should invest in cause I sure could use something like that when cutting trim. Now that I've got a list of projects in mind, I need to work out all my measuring issues and any other things that will make my cuts more accurate. Believe me, laying this laminate has proven that you can never be wrong for measuring a dozen times. That stuff has a habit of moving on you and tricking you into believing your measurements were off. The good thing is I haven't wasted much material as I thought. I also can use scraps to fill-in a few places you can't see. One other trick I also picked up from an installer is that you can in fact cut off the tongue or groove of a piece and glue it against another piece if necessary. So, I'm learning and oh am I learning.
