No new tools again, however, although Norm has used pocket screws since the first season, they've all been in applications where the screws and pockets were out of view in the finished project. This time there was need for the screws to be where they could be seen and for the firest time, Norm used pocket screw plugs, widely available for covering the holes.

The safety speech included video of an operation on the router table (wide board).

Field trip was to Russ Morash's kitchen in Massachusetts. The old kitchen is pretty well gutted, in anticipation of the new cabinets to be installed in the next episode.

A second field trip was to kitchen in a friend's home, nearby in Massachusetts.
