At Don's suggestion I will show photos on how a 3D printer can be useful in a woodshop.  When I ordered the printer I had no idea how much of an asset it would be in woodworking.  And it's not to combine plastic bits with wood objects; no, the plastic bits rarely become components of the objects I make.  They are mostly tools and tool-modifications that help woodshop processes.  Two themes are highlighted:  One is how surprisingly robust even the cheapest most common plastic, PLA, can be in demanding applications.  The second theme is about modifying, replacing, or inventing tools to make woodshop tasks easier.  An example of the second theme is illustrated here, a 3D printed bevel gauge that clears the bump-out in the corner.

You've heard countless times to plane in the direction of rising edge grain.  New to me was Shop-Talk-Live guest Wilbur Pan's recommendation also to skew the plane according to the rising end grain.  So, if viewed from your planing stance, the end grain rises to the left, skew the plane to the left so its left side trails.  This was in a recent episode, Number 264.  Has enyone else heard this recommendation?  Better yet, has anyone found this suggestion successful?

Our monthly Zoom meeting on Tuesday the 5th of April has been cleared for us.  Yes, it's BYOS Night = Bring Your Own Show Night.  OWA members take the stage to tell us what they're up to, what they've been up to, and what will they be up to.  Wooden creations, shop improvements, tool reviews...anything woodworking related goes.  The show starts at 7 PM with Dean's jewelery box.  Free-for-all follows.
