CLASS: Four Square Woodworking - Milling and Jointing Lumber with Jay Wiggins, December 17
Unfortunately, the wood from a lumber yard is rarely flat and true when you bring it home. This class will show how to use your jointer, planer and table saw to properly dress and prepare your stock in a uniform manner so it will glue up and assemble flawlessly. You'll learn the techniques and tips to efficiently go from crooked and rough to smooth and square, while learning to read the grain for the best cutting results from your machines.

I recently purchased a 3/4 inch Wood Slicer blade. It certainly is everything you claimed it to be. My 18 inch bandsaw always frustrated me. I was never sure if it was the blade, the fence, or the guides. The saw now performs as it should, at a much lower decibel than before. The blade set-up instructions are informative and well written in layman's terms. Thank you for a quality product. — Dennis
