Sounds like you're doing things right. Take your time. I tend to use a
jigsaw and a Johnson 12" SpeedSquare a lot. That combinations follows me
around the room. And as Mr. Confused mentioned, most end-cuts will be
covered.

You _are_ cutting good-side down, aren't you? puts the splinters on the bad
side. Since no one else has mentioned it, I'll remind you.

I just made new shoe moldings for my floating floor installations. The tiny
ones installed initially wouldn't reach far enough. Of course, I'm cheap,
and made all my thresholds and transitions rather than pay the horribly
inflated prices at the store. Red oak is pretty cheap by the BF. Much
cheaper than moldings.
