After many years of wood butchering using a Sears Radial Arm Saw for just about everything I finally got a dream tool: a General Cabinet Saw with a Delta Unifence. Then, the Saw Stop came out and the overall technology for safety devices took a giant leap forward, leaving my standard General anti-kickback and blade guard devices in the realm of the dinosaur. Still, it's a great saw that could be better if only there was a good, off the shelf retrofit available for an updated, more functional blade guard and riving knife.

I've handled many different makers' planes and Lie-Nielsen planes generally fit my (XL) hands best. Lie-Nielsen planes are things of beauty with form, fit, function all very well executed.

Well, after many years of flipping thru years of past, paper issues of Fine Woodworking to find that article I knew was in there somewhere, I found 208 issues of Fine Woodworking in a neat little, searchable package under the tree this year. Hooray!
