An infrequent no-new-tool episode.

Norm used a plain board clamped to the Unifence as a sacrificial fence.

The Porter-Cable 7518 router was heavily featured, but it wasn't actually demonstrated in the HGTV version of this episode. Ultimately it will spend most of the rest of its life in this and the next router table.

The safety speech included video of a crosscut operation on the radial arm saw.

Field trip was to the workshop of American Woodworker magazine, Emmaus, Pennsylvania.
