A few years ago when I really started to think critically about my work, I discovered that the stock tablesaw fence I was using was out of square relative to the saw table. The melamine faces on the fence couldn't be adjusted, so I removed the faces and added wood faces. Now I can true up the face of the fence, checking with square and straightedge to make sure it is flat and square to the table.
High Visibility
One great thing about working with curly maple: layout lines jump out at you. No need for crazy lighting setups.
Stilts
I was sawing the dovetails on the case sides and needed just a few inches to get to a more comfortable height. 4x4 stilts.
Outside the Box
I had to get creative to transfer the dovetail layout to the case sides. Still not a fan of tails first, but it made sense in this situation.
