![]() ![]() I made a basic box shape out of 2x8s (pricey these days) and attached them to a piece of 2×12 left over from the anvil stand as a base.įor the top I made a template out of hard board and labeled it with the orientation and hole info. I read about a chisel sharpening technique called unicorn sharpening, and it calls for a buffer. I love my bench grinder stand to death, and want to have my other grinder setup as a buffer full time. While I was building my Anvil Stand I was also building this buffer stand. I will work on improving my epoxy inlay techniques later. The sample board turned out well enough, so I moved on to the real thing. It makes the router cuts dark and visible, and is easy to apply. Burning through the epoxy to clear the voidsįinally I settled on a quick clear coat to seal, and spray paint.Again in retrospect using maple or something would have been better. Here again, the rough pockets that are left by the routing might be allowing air pockets. I tried vacuuming the epoxy and still couldn’t get it to be void free. There was still some grain seepage and in trying to plane through the top surface and get to flat inlay, I kept hitting bubbles. I eventually got enough sealing done on pine and filled another test piece. I should have started with a hardwood of some sort. I tried sealing the grain with multiple rounds of shellac and still ran into some issues on the poplar samples. I wanted to route a pattern, then mix black epoxy to pour into the cut grooves. The first big issue I ran into was inlay. ![]()
