Version 2.0 Fritz & Franz jig
My original Fritz & Franz jig I used Incra stops which worked but had several drawbacks. Decided to build version 2.0 using TSO stops and I think I am really going to like the new setup.

Re: Wax/oil finishes
I know the poly defeats the idea of Rubio but I just don¡¯t want the customer calling me with staining issues. Commercial bar is a tough go. Also going to talk to Todd about Waterlox now that it was

Re: Wax/oil finishes
Hey Joe Do you wait until the Rubio is cured fully to apply a poly top coat? I¡¯ve considered putting poly over some pieces that get a lot of wear but the manufacturers don¡¯t recommend it. For osmo

Re: Wax/oil finishes
Ok ya¡¯ll.. For years I have been using Watco and Waterlox, with what I believe to be success. Am I missing something critical, or am I just clueless? I am not producing my projects commercially, and

Re: Drum sanders
Prior to ordering my North State 16" wide belt sand, I looked into the Houfek Cindy sanders as well. At the time, Houfek was willing to import a machine, but they wouldn't ship until they had a
