This reminds me.  Whenever I suggest, "oh, I could make a . . . . " my
spouse says, "Yeah, that would be nice, but only if you use the tablesaw."
Huh?  "That way the lines will be cut straight etc etc etc"  I try to
explain to him that I can make an edge at least as straight using a handsaw
and a jointer plane, but I'm not convincing, I guess.  (So much for being a
lawyer.)  Am I the only one who gets this grief?

By the way, I have an in-progress table-top with perfectly straight edges
and 90-degree corners sitting right there as proof!
