Sanding and Finishing jig

Nice, Gene! That product is the same thing that they rip you off for tool boxes too. You’re right, it can be found cheaper for a different application, than woodworking. Nice idea. For finishing, what do you think about having T-nuts at a few places to put small screws through to support the piece off of the mat so ti doesn’t stick?

Nice idea.

Thanks for the comments guys. “Tom”, I forgot to mention that I have been using wax paper between the jig and the doors, but might try your idea also to see if I like it better.
God bless

I’ve seen these things made bigger so as to support and spin a dresser. Also like Tom(mot) said, supporting your work on pins or nails keeps your project from sticking. I’ve recently seen (LeeValley catalog) these little yellow triangles that are made to do just that. You have a great idea…hope we have helped you.

Great idea on the lazy-susan Gene. I’ve spent allot of wasted steps walking around a project spraying poly. Also the wax paper idea is a keeper. I used some of that matting on top of my table saw as a makeshift downdraft table and the dust that got between the mat and the table actually scratched the top so I don’t do that any more. I’m getting ready to make a rolling sanding station that will hold my Ridged spindle sander in the middle with a fold down downdraft table on the side and some shelf space below to hold the belt, sheet, and random orbital sander.
