"Love It. I haven't made my work bench yet or mounted the jig, but just the idea I was looking for.

"Mike, I've found a few suppliers of Bluekote if your interested. My local dealer, Toolswood.com has them in stock, he's got a box of 1000 he'll give you a deal on (shipping might cost you a bit). I've also discovered that…"
