“I have always loved the elegance and simplicity of the Chinese round-corner cabinet,” says Powell, who has built several traditional versions. This cabinet is a modern interpretation of the style and has octagonal legs. It won first prize in the Advanced Cabinet category at the show.

Skilsaw SPT88-01 Miter Saw
This saw performs as well as the others, but its price and inconveniences make it hard to recommend. As far as the positives go, the handle is comfortable to grip. In use, its power switch works for both righties and lefties. However, other ergonomics are OK at best. It’s also another saw with the bevel lock at the back, meaning it’s a reach to get to. The tool has good bevel and miter range. It’s the only worm-drive saw, but I did not notice any difference in cut. The saw cannot sit flush to a wall.

Rockler Deluxe Panel Clamp
These clamps can handle glue-ups between 10 in. and 36 in. wide, and boards up to 3 in. thick. Sliding feet attach to the lower bars with magnets, letting you position them quickly for stability on any surface. The spring-loaded jaws adjust easily, dropping into notches along the bars. And the powerful clamp handles clear the benchtop.
Jeske Joinery Saw
To create a quick, precise handsaw for smaller joinery cuts, Jeske took a thin, razor-sharp, Japanese-style blade and tensioned it in a frame made of carbon fiber and aluminum, adding a traditional wood handle.
