    In this special edition Wood Works goes on location -- but to a familiar one. Host and master craftsman David Marks takes viewers on a tour of his Sonoma County workshop. Contrary to what many viewers think, Wood Works is not filmed in a studio, but in Marks' actual workshop -- a converted horse barn on his home property. Marks describes the tools he uses regularly and shares inside tips on how to set them up for peak performance. -- like adding back-bevel to jointer blades to eliminate chip-out and setting the blade of a band saw to compensate for drift. For those just setting up shop, David shares his ideas for the tools a home craftsman should acquire, and in what order, to create a home woodworking shop that is affordable and versatile.

    Web-extras included in connection with this episode include .pdf diagrams of a kick-switch for a table saw and an overhead diagram showing the layout of David's custom-designed woodworking shop.
