Norm built a couple of interesting fixtures to allow a router (or the router table) to handle some work. One, of course, was used in an earlier candle stand project. He also built a pair (left and right) to allow the legs to be rounded over after having been tapered. The third was a huge attachment for the lathe to hog out material from the candlestand top (link above).

It was nice to see a sanding station used after a long layoff (Season 15), although it's a brand new one that's been sitting unfeatured in the shop since early Season 17.

The safety speech included video of an operation on the router table (wide board).
