My scariest cut

I've cut a lot of things over the years, with a lot of different types of saws. I've used various big saws to remodel my kitchen.










I used my mighty 17" reciprocating miter saw to cut my grandpa's casket lid in half (for more on that click here).











I used a scroll saw to make the drawer and closet handles for Giovana's room.














But yesterday I made the scariest, most nerve-wracking cut in my cutting-history...




I used this






to cut these






off of this




Never been more nervous about a cut in my life! Fortunately all went well, and baby and fingers are fine. Dad is a little spent, though.




6 friends had this to say...:

I am beyond happy for your guys!!! and yes, yes, yes. It's horrible to trim babies' nails.

PS: I liked using baby nail scissors a lot more than clippers.

Awesome post! You have a great family. I didn't realize that our HOA was split between Farmington and Hazledale Wards. I'm in Farmington.
