Kreg Precision Trak and Stop Kit

When Your Pencil and Tape Measure Just Won't Cut It...

Are you frustrated with projects that never seem to turn out quite right? Are you sick and tired of having to measure and mark each individual workpiece? Never again.

The Precision Trak and Stop System is the fastest and easiest way to add incredible accuracy to your miter saw and the modern replacement for the tape measure and pencil. It's designed to make each and every cut you make easier to reproduce and more accurate than ever before, resulting in projects which are easier to reproduce and more accurate than ever before. It's time to throw away your pencil, throw away your tape measure, and start getting real precision out of your miter saw!

One of our favorite woodworkers is Roy Underhill of The Woodwright's Shop on PBS.

He's been a guest at several of our sales and he's taught classes here as well. He's talented, entertaining and we like his style.

I just discovered this week over on the Toolmonger blog that PBS has posted all of Season 26 of The Woodwright's Shop on the web for free!

Check it out here.

You can see some of Roy's books here.

Here's an interesting video show how to make a stool with the unique whale tail joint. It's an interesting video, but I suggest that you turn the sound down.

Here's a great video of a Highland Woodworking regular - profiled on CNN! (We'll give him a pass for the Woodcraft apron.)

PBS plans to premier a new woodworking show early next year. It"s called Woodworking Together and is hosted by Gail O'Rourke. See the details and trailer below.

"Woodworking Together" is the first new woodworking show to come to public television in more than 10 years and features the very first woman to host a true woodworking show, Boston-area cabinetmaker Gail O'Rourke.

Our show is geared toward woodworkers of all skill levels, with a special emphasis on beginners.

Woodworking Together will premiere nationwide on PBS stations in January of 2008.

Good luck Gail. It's always great to have more woodworking on TV.

This is an entertaining video, but we don't recommend this as safe shop procedure.
