Workshop Tips
Build swinging panels for a Peg-Board wall, clamp dowels on end for drilling, use a floor sweep as a dust port, replace tack cloths with microfiber cloths, make a pattern for sawing bowl blanks, use ball valves for blast gates, support work on edge with handscrews, make a convex pad for random orbit sander, and use framing squares to measure large diameters.

New! Thrifty Woodworkers
Buy the economical variety of tie wrap, use zip ties for measuring, launder sanding belts in blade cleaner, keep Kreg clamps handy, make wooden wing nuts, and use Peg-Board as a bench surface.
