First off, I want to wish everyone on the Eastern Seaboard of the US a speedy recovery from "Sandy". For those affected, I really hope that things return to normal as quickly and painlessly as possible.

This week's edition of ShortCuts deals with keeping your woodshop secure. Having had mine broken into on two separate occasions, I know how discouraging it can be.
We have a generator recall notice and a word about Japan Woodworker's and the new owners. Our Tool Test covers some interesting new job specific clamp solutions from Bessey as well as a couple of high tension hack saw frames. Take a look!
