I’m liking those bench cookies. What a great idea…

I already have the Gorilla Gripper – works like a charm…

The dust collection in the new SawStop saw is interesting.

I think the Kreg style and rail system for cabinets is very interesting.

That throat plate design is pretty handy. I understand it’s more Involved than just the insert….Wish my original sawstop had one. I need to call them to see if a retro fit is an option. BTW they sport some of the best custmer service I’ve experienced. They should train the help at my local city hall.

I, too, am sold on the bench cookies, how did I ever live without them and I don’t even have them yet! That plywood lifting device is so simple, why didn’t I invent that 20 yrs ago ??

I would like to say, thank you for doing what you do on this site. I am newer to woodworking in experience, but have studied it for years. ( I didn’t have the tools). Though I still don’t have all the tools you have helped me learn alot about tools and techniques. Seeing the High School competition was inspiring to say the least it also made me a little jealous. But thank you very much.

ha! cool. I just bought the box joint jig from Rockler last week. It’s still in the box though; waiting on new bits.
