My bro-worker Brisco just sent me this photo, which he snapped in a cabinet shop he visited this week. He knew I was a tool-nerd and wondered if I knew what it was. "Oh course" I said. "I even have a blog dedicated to them!" This further confirmed my neediness.It was only after I studied the photo that I realized what a gem it was.
What do you notice?
Front and center is a Dosch miter trimer, which was patented in 1900; but around it are a few of the most modern tools in the woodshop.
- A wooden box with a Lamello biscuit joiner.
- Several cordless drills.
- A stack of edge banding for use on the edge of melamine particle board.
- A "Systainer" from Festool which contains "Domino" tenons for the Domino machine.
- To the immediate left of the miter trimmer is a shop-made fixture for routing a mortise.

That's a picture from my shop. There's an Emmert on the bottom shelf of a bench (waiting to be mounted) right behind where the photographer was standing. One correction: the Systainer is for a Swiss Invis.
Best regards,
Tony
