Hockey Pucks

[Birdhunter]

My niece is a hockey goalie. I had her send me 4 discarded hockey pucks. I attached some rubber mesh drawer lining to both sides using double sided tape and trimmed everything to the shape of the puck.

This makes a great platform for sanding a board.should work for applying finish to a board. The weight of the pucks gives more stability than just wood disks.

Lee Valley actually sells pucks and you can separately buy self-adhesive grip discs to stick to both sides. An option for those who don't play or know a player.

How does that differ substantially from Bench Cookies?  [huh]

Pucks are heavier. If you are a player or have access to free old/dinged pucks, you can just buy the high-friction discs for $4 for a set of 8 (to make 4 pucks). When they first introduced them, I restocked my team on pucks because, at the time, LV was cheaper than most places especially our pro shops.

Hockey puck bench cookies would have that "cool" factor [big grin].

My old Bench Dog brand cookies don't have the threaded pocket in the bottom like those Rockler brand cookies. That seems like it is a great feature, being able to thread in a post and elevate the cookie or secure it, as needed.

The Rockler Bench Cookie Master Kit is on sale for $40. I like having the risers to use on my MFT. With a spacer and a knob they lock to the table. Often use the finishing adapters too. Can't remember the last time I saw an actual hockey puck, they are extremely elusive 'round here.https://www.rockler.com/bench-cookie-plus-master-kit
