by Andrew Davis

Have you ever tried to make the decision to purchase a tool not based on the anticipated workload of a project?  In this month's Bevel Cut article Andrew helps by walking through the logic involved in making that decision. 

Read Remember the Asymptote! then add it to your woodworking binder for later reference.

Andrew welcomes your feedback.
