Re: Bench Cookie Giveaway

I've got hockey pucks as footpads on all of my woodworking machines and workbench. I might as well try some on top of the workbench, too.
To be clear, I strongly suspect that the Rockler "pucks" (cookies) are more tacky, right? I'd be happy to contribute to comparison/evaluation results!

Re: Making a Roubo Workbench: Part 3

Mike, I was intriqued by the rising dovetail you used, and tracked down Roy Underhill's description of the joint. It can be found online, at The University of North Carolina Press website, as an appendix to a PDF exerpt from Roy Underhill's "The Woodwright's Guide" - http://uncpress.unc.edu/woodwright/images/Underhill_Guide_excerpt.pdf - I couldn't quite visualize the joint, until I used SketchUp to model the dovetail - http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=14cfebc4f0402530965a0470b8d17c - Thank you for your report of your workbench project!
