Although not debuted until Episode 603, the DJ15 jointer is seen sitting in the shop; part of the Season 6 unveiling of new tools, like the 28-280 bandsaw, the LaserLoc miter saw, and the P-C 333 random orbit sander.

The safety speech included closeup video of a ripping operation on the contractors saw with a push stick.

Norm started the safety speech with, “before we do any woodworking…” instead of “before using any power tools…”

Field trip was to private residence—Norm's perhaps?
