FMQ takes practice. Geesh, don't spend money where it is not necessary. Make yourself or your mom a pot holder. You should get the hang of it quickly. By all means, get some gloves, but buy gardening gloves at the Dollar store. Don't spend money on the "Money suckers" or what ever they are called. Cut off the thumb and fore-finger. This is brillance. Router, you say yes to; I say pfft. Totally unnecessary. Take a 20.00 bill and flush it down the toilet.
