Square the table using this old machinists’ trick. Bend a
piece of^1 / 4 ”. steel rod (available at home centers) into
an S shape, as shown in the photo above. Mount it in the
chuck and swing it by hand to each side of the table. Use a
feeler gauge between the end of the rod and the tabletop
to test the clearance at each end of the table. Adjust the
table tilt until there’s 0.003” or less difference between
the two sides. —George Vondriska

Clothespin Holder
I love having a cutting list close at hand. But hanging on
to it when both hands are busy was a problem—until
I bought 24 clothespins for $2 at the hardware store. I
epoxied the wooden pins in convenient spots around
my shop. Now I can easily double-check measurements
before cutting my boards too short. —Chas Bridge
