I bought a $200 Kreg Foreman about 3 years back and used to think the cheaper jigs were just fine for what I did. Then I built a set of maple cabinet doors and the drill guide on my old setup wandered just enough to ruin 4 rails in one afternoon. That was like $60 of wood gone plus a whole day wasted. The Foreman has a clamp and a real motor so every hole goes straight and fast, no measuring, no wobble. It paid for itself on the first kitchen I knocked out after buying it, probably saved me 6 hours of work. Now I tell people to just get the good one from the start instead of fighting the cheap stuff for a year like I did.

Did you check if your chainsaw bar was pinching before blaming the wedge?

Six minutes after dinner is nothing compared to standing in line at the deli for fifteen. The trick is not calling it cooking twice. You are just scooping extra food into a container while the pan is still out. Last night I threw leftover rice and chicken in a box in under two minutes. Ten bucks a day adds up fast. Plus you skip the whole "what do I order" thing every single day.
