Feed Guide

When jointing and/or planing several boards I always draw a crayon line on the edge to indicate the slope of the grain. This indicates which way that particular piece should be presented to the cutterhead. I find this especially useful when making a number of passes or when dealing with an inattentive helper who may just turn boards over instead of switching them end for end.

Microwave Bending

"When making some miniature covered wagons, I needed to bend hardwood hoops to support the canvas tops. I soaked the strips in water until they were saturated, popped them in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, then bent them around pre-cut forms and let them cool. This works great, but you have to work fast because such small sections cool quickly.
