An infrequent no-new-tool episode.

Norm spent a lot of time on dovetailing on the Leigh—almost a tutorial.

The safety speech included video of a crosscut operation on the radial arm saw and Norm also included hearing protection in his safety advisory.

Field trip was to private residence of an antique collector, presumably in Massachusetts, as the piece was in the shop temporarily. Norm’s pergola was visible through the window and there was a This Old House magazine on the desk. Sounds like Morash to me.
