    Open this after the drill press demonstration: clamping, the chuck key, and what happens on the way out.

    Open this after the jointer demonstration: flat faces, square edges, and the cutterhead you cannot see.

    Open this after the stationary sander demonstration: the down side of the disc, the table gap, and small parts.

    Open this after the hand sander demonstration: the tools that catch and pull, and sanding up through the grits.

    Forethought, pictorials, working plans, the cutting schedule, and the list of materials.
  15. 15. Understanding Wood
    Hardwood and softwood, what a tree is made of, grain and figure, wood movement, and manufactured panels.

    Working the plan, measuring and marking, kerf and stop blocks, and squaring wood on the jointer.
