[4 tool mods from Chris Gochnour's shop]( Two eLetters featuring Chris Gochnour in the last three weeks? What?!?!

But while he loves using traditional tools (corded and otherwise) he's always looking for ways to improve his tools and how he uses them. This [week's feature video demonstrates four modifications]( he made that boost productivity in his shop. Speaking of productivity, if you check your mailbox you'll soon see [Chris's contemporary side table]( gracing the cover of Fine Woodworking #295!
