Nice! Btw, for cookie sealing and end sealing in general, Klingspor's version of Anchor Seal seems like great stuff at half the price. Normally only $23 a gallon, it's on sale now for $20 or so. You have Klingspor stores in NC you can pick it up at so you don't have to pay the $9.99 flat rate shipping, but they're all a long way from you. They only let you buy 2 gallons at a time online, I guess cause the shipping costs them too much otherwise. I get all my sanding belts and discs from them and bandsaw blades and other things, and just learned they market Whiteside router bits (pretty much the gold standard) with their name on them since Whiteside is also an NC company. It's a good state to be in for woodworking. We only have a Woodcraft near me, which is generally overpriced stuff for the hobbyist brought to you with bored "I'm an expert" attitude from the staff, so I order everything online. A Rockler store apparently opened just down the street from me last year, I had no idea. They may be a bit better, but like Woodcraft their house brand stuff is generally mediocre Chinese quality and they don't bother house branding quality stuff like Klingspor does.
An old woodworker/fabricator here with a ton of knowledge I bought a cheap welder and some woodworking tools from turned me on to Klingspor. Bought this neat old device called a Mill-Route from him for $50, he didn't even really know what it was but had it laying around. Used it for a bit but it can only handle small projects and a small hassle taking the router on and off it, so haven't done anything with it for awhile. I just used it for flattening small pieces like a router sled, but it's meant for engraving. Would have been useful on the first name sign I did, but I just freehand traced that from a printout of the lettering taped to the wood. Want to set the Mill-Route up so I can do name sign engraving a little more cleanly though.
