But does he cut 'rabbits'?

I discovered that 'rabbet' was the original English word, and 'rebate' is a derivation, so paradoxically, for once the New World has something right.

Of course, if you want to refer to 'Fulffy' as a rebate, I suppose you could......

No stacked dado cutters so far, I doubt he will anyway. Plenty of router action and Trend jigs much in evidence.

Ahh, I didn't know about that one. I've heard that 'fall' (as in Autumn) was a common English word at the time, we lost it and they kept it.

I wonder what other s there are.

sorry, that one misses me...

Typo. Should have read Fluffy........ (as in rabbit)

Somewhere I read that Brits in the 17th century were supposed to have had accents much more similar to 20th century American than British. Have no idea what the truth is in that or what the evidence was (a hitherto-undiscovered cache of 78s from the Mayflower mebbe?)
