The instant zero clearance solution seemed a little hokey, not to
mention a quick way to screw up a piece of hardboard. However, some
of their shop tips are informative.


When I need a zero clearance opening (Dina has a gaper, fer sher) I
reach for my crosscut sled. Doesn't everyone use one?


I hear some say the tips and the magazine they are for beginners.
Everyone is a beginner at some point. Even after messing with
woodworking and home projects for 30+ years I often feel like a
beginner.


And how often do we forget those unused novice tips after 30+ years?
