Wood Block Simplifies Glue-Ups – FineWoodworking
This simple wood block has been very helpful. For anything but the simplest glue-ups, I pour the glue into a plastic cup, which drops into a hole in the block. The block keeps the cup from tipping over and also holds the wet brush when I need to lay it down, with no mess on the benchtop. Small takeout cups work well, such as those used for sauces and such, or you could go for a reusable silicone cup, available on Amazon.

Diablo ‘SandNet’ Sanding Discs
While Diablo’s SandNet disks perform similarly to conventional paper abrasives in terms of material removal and surface prep (with some exceptions at the lower grits), they make keeping your work surface and work area clean much easier, thanks to the great dust collection possible with them.
Suizan Japanese Pull Saw
A versatile saw that can be used for anything from kumiko to dovetails. Mike Pekovich recommends them as a woodworker’s first handsaw.
