I'm not the world's best knot tier, and the few knots that I learned and used many, many years ago take me too long to recall how to tie, so I usually end up making a couple of "granny knots" and hope for the best. Jim from Columbia had a good idea that I can really use, and that is to use

a small amount of CA glue, just a drop or so, then spritz with some accelerator, and now that knot will never come loose ... but because you can use CA glue on it, which many of you know is a very brittle kind of glue ...

The router table has become a mainstay in most woodworking shops, but there is often some important detail in setting the router and table up each time. Changing bits and re-settings them, all of this requires some sort of a tool to set, check or adjust and if you have to go looking for these tools every time, it significantly breaks up the workflow of a project.

In this video, I am doing what I can to shorten those interruptions and make the workflow more continuous by making things related to the router table much handier to find, use and then put back where you can find them again. What I am doing for my router table is individual to me, but the same system can be used in most other router tables.

One of the things that I like about heading into a new year is it makes me think about the things I am doing and evaluate what I am doing and if I should be making any changes.

I could have stopped everything and got all my sharpening equipment out and sharpened the plane blade, but honestly ... the process that I have is a bit tedious, and when you are in the middle of a job and you want to get it done ... stopping to set up a whole sharpening system for one blade really takes away the workflow from the job at hand.

Featherboards are both useful and can be considered as a safety tool in some cases too. I use them most on the router table, but they can be used on the table saw, the drill press and other tools as well from time to time. I always think of them as another set of hands to help me hold and steady the wood so I can get a better and more accurate cut.

My original thought was to use some hard foam wheels, but the only ones I could find were too soft, then when thinking about other rubber kinds of wheels, I thought of inline skate wheels ... they are ready almost everywhere at many garage sales and thrift stores for a couple of dollars a pair, which often gives you 3 or 4 pairs of wheels to use.
