change from surumer te fall is that

mowing the yard and pruning bushes to
indoor activities. And for me, that’s getting
back into the workshop.
“Back to the Shop Special” makes a great
title for this issue. It's chock full of practical
solutions for getting more out of your shop
and the tools in it. On page 8, you'll find
quick and easy solutions for storing router
bits. And if your collection of hand tools has
taken over your workbench, the heirloom
tool chest on page 14 is a sure-hre way to get
everything organized.
Finally, we have some plans for a few great
jigs and hxtures, too. Whether it's the folding
router table (page 30), shooting board (page
38), or locking rabbet jig (page 44), you'll
find any one (or all) of them a great way to
get more from your tools.
Sadly, along with the seasons, there’sanother
change | want to mention. And that's the pass-
ing of Joel Hess. Joel was an associate editar
with ShopNotes, but that doesn’t begin to cover
his contributions to this magazine and August
Home Publishing. Among his other tasks, Joel
handled the editorial efforts for the Woodsnith
Store, and he coordinated and presented many
of the painting and woodworking seminars
held there. But most important of all, Joel was
a truly nice guy and dedicated friend to all
who knew him. He will be missed.

This issue of ShopNofes is dedicated
to the memory of Joel Hess (1955 - 2010)
