May 2009 Monthly Roundup for Tool Snob

So your deck is half framed. You were hoping to get it done by the end of the month so you could enjoy it all summer, but you found that rot in the sill and it set you back a week or two. And then there's the mere fact of finding the time after work to go to the lumber yard for the screws you need, then home to set up your tools and figure out where you left things off. Sometimes it's not easy, but you have to do it or you feel, well, lame. We understand and can offer only encouragement and possibly a tip on a tool that might make things easier for you. Good luck.

Not much reviewing done in May, only the Gorilla Expoy and the Easy Chamfer. So we're going to hand the coveted Tool of the Month to the Easy Chamfer, mostly due to the fact that it looks like some kind of Pokemon weapon.
