Here's how to choose an anti-fatigue mat to make working in your shop more comfortable than ever. Q&A Sources 56 51 CutoffsTake a good tool and make it better. That's really the key to many of the projects in ShopNotes. And often, this involves taking a good bit of time to build a jig or an accessory to make a power tool work harder, more accurately, or more safely. But sometimes it's nice to be able to go into the shop and complete a project in an afternoon. That's part of the reason I enjoyed the marking knife project that begins on page 24 so much. We started with a simple, Japanese-style marking knife. The razor-sharp edge allows you to strike a clean, precise layout line. But the delicate blade can be a bit difficult to hold onto. So what's the solution? We designed a custom handle — one made out of scrap wood and some copper bushings — that looks good and feels great in your hand. This transformation from a good tool to a great one is hard to describe. But I noticed that once the handle was added, everyone who picked the marking knife up had a hard time putting it back down again. Another project that'll make a handy addition to your shop is the all-new router circle jig shown on page 32. What makes this jig unique is that it uses a lazy Susan in the design. So you just "spin" your way to a cleanly routed hole or circle. But seeing is believing. So be sure to check out the online video we put together showing the jig in action.
