My husband bought me a router in December and I haven't broke it out of the box yet. I think someone commented that they were a bit intimidated by theirs. I can certaintly understand how they feel.

I have seen some renovations while house hunting that really should have been left up to a professional. I'm sure the homeowner was pleased and proud of their work, but to an outsider it either cost them the sale, or was ripped out and replaced. I think some people just have that "knack" and some don't. It's great to try on very small projects, but sometimes it ends up being more costly to try and do it yourself, if in the end you have to hire someone to fix your screw up! It is a hard to know what to tackle. Like right now I am dying to tear out my upper cabinets in my kitchen while my husband is gone on business for a few days. It looks easy enough!

Same reason I bought my sewing machine, and I've been having fun playing with them since. Now the router my dad gave me? It intimidates me a little; I really need to just get it out & play.
