I have not been in my shop for three weeks,( might not be for 5 or 6 more) but I finally have a coaching staff and a team on the practice field! I have no idea how we will do, but my kids are working hard and my assistants are killing themselves to get things done.
Taking over for a coach who dies is tough, the kids have such deep loyalty and attachments, but I can tell you that I have a group of kids who anyone would be proud of.

Dave, It may be tough but my hat is off in your honor for working with young people who have lived through the worst kind of loss. Keep up the good work. Fjimp

Geez, I just found out that the specialized power tool required to produce the grooved channel to accept the specialized clamping biscuit is only $1200....maybe $1250, the company hasn't locked in the price yet. What audacity!!!!

And yet, hundreds of years ago, men with only rudimentary hand tools made miter joints that are as perfect today as they were then. Amazing !! How did they do it?;)

I have to rip a board from 3 inches down to 2 3/4's. What is the best way to position the board? The larger "remaining" edge against the fence or the "cut off edge" against the fence? I don't have a Zero clearance plate.
