An infrequent no-new-tool episode.

Norm built a neat jig for drilling a perfectly perpendicular hole in the end of the bed rail.

He also threw together a guide for routing the mortises for the bed hangers.

Norm mentioned that the LaserLoc miter saw is no longer manufactured.

The protractor used in this episode is a smaller version of the one pictured in the link.

The safety speech included video of an operation on the router table (finger slip).

Field trip was to Jeff Jenkins at Leonard's Antiques, Seekonk, Massachusetts.
