EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Gesture and cuff made me think of the Ghost from the matrix

Quick, prepare the exit.
 
Finally finishing my entry replacement, siding, and rot repair job with the interior trim today, I had to make two little Dutchmen to fill the gap between the existing baseboard and the new door casing. One side was custom full 3/4" thickness as it was an extension of the stair skirt board and the other was stock 1/2" x 3 1/2" colonial baseboard and neither were coming out. Lacking a table saw on the job, I double cut the narrow rips on my cordless Bosch chopsaw, scribed each to match the ogee tops, cut those with a coping saw, CA-glued them in place, and sanded them in. It's a paint-grade job so they'll finish up fine and look seamless after the application of a little carpenter-in-a-jar to the faces.

Working so close to the blade requires lots of tape and a holdfast block so the finger-count will be the same both before and after cutting.

Really nice worksmanship there. I used to work in custom cabinet finishing and could have probably circumnavigated the globe trailing a ribbon of blue painter's tape considering how much I've used over the years. Nice knife too.

Thanks, brother. The two basic tools for homeowners have always been duct tape--use if it moves and shouldn't--and WD40--use if it doesn't move and should. For contractors it seems that CA glue and blue tape are indispensable weapons in the battle against next-to-impossible tasks.
