Tbh that chisel thing is bonkers, but I've met a guy who refused to use a table saw sled because he thought clamping was "real woodworking". Caught his hand in the blade twice before he finally gave in and built one.

Same here, rocket blower saved my Spotmatic after canned air messed up the curtain.

Honestly I don't get the hype. Once you memorize the patterns it's mostly just about timing. It took me maybe a week back on the NES. People act like it's some impossible feat but really it's just patience and repetition. The game is more about muscle memory than any real skill. So congrats but it's hardly a big deal to me.

That was my experience too. What brand was it so I can make sure to avoid it?

oh absolutely, the coping saw is the real hero of any baseboard job. @gray_morgan that's the thing nobody tells you about those fancy miter saw setups - they work great if you live in a perfect world where corners are actually 90 degrees, but none of us do. i have a question though - when you coped that corner, did you find yourself having to adjust the angle a bit as you went along, or were you able to just cut it and pop it in? because i swear every time i try coping, i end up having to shave off little bits here and there anyway, which kind of defeats the purpose of calling it a "ten minute" job. it's still faster than fighting with a miter cut that's never going to close up, but i'm curious if that's just me being bad at it or if that's normal.
