Kickback

Rich Harwood follows up on the aluminum WoodRiver straight edges and how he uses them in the shop. He keeps a Starrett steel straight edge as his protected reference tool and uses it to verify that the cheaper straight edges are still within tolerance.

Standout Companies and Products

We saw a lot of great products and talked to a lot of great companies, so we can’t cover everything. But a few of the standouts include:

MicroJig
SawStop
Kreg, including the Edge Joiner and upcoming trim router
Oliver
Izzy Swan and Swan Tools
Old Masters
WoodRiver
Walrus Oil
Easy Wood Tools
Carbon Method
Grit Grip
JessEm
Temple Tools
