It is now officially “Shop Tour” season. Clean up your
shop because your shop may be on the next tour.
The next shop tour is set for July 27th and will be a tour of Walter

The best thing about the tours is the fact that everyone always picks up

When ripping a box, to separate the top and
bottom, you need to prevent the parts from moving and pinching the
blade when you make the final two cuts.
Here’s an easy way to do it.
After ripping the sides (or ends) of the box, adhere suitably sized
stabilizer blocks from 1/2? scrap to the sides with double-faced
tape, as shown, to hold the top and bottom in position and the kerfs
open. Then rip the front and back to detach the top.
To prevent interference between the blocks and fence, make the
blocks 1/4? shorter than the width of the sides and center the
blocks on the sides.
