The end result will be worth it. I'll keep 0
you posted on the progress.
While the new construction has been
a bit inconvenient, it hasn't stopped us
from putting together a couple of new
projects for this issue.
WORKCENTER Like many of the
projects we design, the work center
started out as a solution to an everyday
problem. In this case, we were looking
for a way to provide work space and
storage space without taking up room.

We all wear them when working in
the shop. But lately many of us have
taken to wearing them in the office as
well. (As I write this, I'm wearing ear
plugs and "ear muff" protectors.)
If you think this sounds funny, he-
lieve me, it looks even funnier. But
we're not doingthis for fun. We're doing
it out of necessity. Let me explain.

NEW FEATURE. Projects aren't the
only thing new in this issue. We've also
added a new feature - the Finish
Room. Here we'll take an in-depth look
at finishing problems and their solu-
tions. We'll also talk about new prod-

using them. This time we give gel stains

@ attached to the miter gauge.
Start by placing the miter
gaugein the slot in the saw table.
Then, with the fence clamped to
the miter gauge so the end butts
against the side of the blade (not
the teeth), mark the location of
the holes, see Fig. 3.
Now it's just a matter of drill-
ing the holes and installing the
inserts. After attaching the fence,
trim off the end, see Fig. 3b. (To

INDICATOR. To position the
stop block accurately, I added an
indicator. This is just a piece of
!@-thick Plexiglas with a "hair-
linee'etched in the back side with
a utility knife, see Fig. 4a. To
make the line easierto see,seetip
in margin at right.
To attach the indicator and al-
low it to be adjusted later, there
are two slots near the top. (I made
these slots by drilling a series of
overlapping holes.) Then, after
screwing it in place, I sanded a
chamfer on the top edges of the
indicator and stop block.
INSTALL TAPE. The next stew
is to install the measuring tape.
Note: Because I place the miter
gauge on the left side ofthe blade,
I used a self-adhesivemeasuring
tape that reads from right to left,
see Sources on page 31.
To install the tape, lock the
stop block flush with the end of
the fence, see Fig. 5. Then slide

STOP BLOCK. With the fence in
place, the next step is to add the
stop block. It's made from two
&-thick pieces of hardwood that
are glued together in an L-shape.
Both pieces are 2" wide, but their
lengths are different, see Fig. 4.
The long (314") piece hangs in
front of the fence and acts as the
"stop." Note: The bottom corners
are chamfered for sawdust relief.
