  1. I was able to find some glaze locally at Sherwin Williams so, decided to move forward with this finishing test today..

    I Left the inside and underside of the lid unfinished so I'd have comparisons.

    The back is as done as it's going to get with just a coat of the Potassium Dichromate and a coat of amber shellac.
     

    The confusion is that you said here that you used “Potassium Dichromate.” Did you use the Potassium on the underside and the sodium dichromate on the top side? 

  2. The top piece looks really neat. What part does the Potassium Dichromate play and how did you apply it? 
    Can we assume that since you applied shellac prior to the glaze, that the darker streaks are the result of the glaze and not due to the grain of the wood? 

  3. I experienced that with my 6yo + jig up until about a year ago. I’ve always used Rockler’s brass setup bars and started using a spiral up cut bit. I also found that pushing the piece thru and picking it up instead of pulling it back thru the bit made an amazing difference. A tad more time consuming but well worth the effort. 

  4. Hey bud, I’m usually aligned with your ideas and purchases but unfortunately I don’t see the value here. With a whole lot less woodworking experience than you have, I may be wrong. 
    One, there are very few times that I use a feather board on the ts. Usually on the router table and bs and I can’t recall a video of yours that you used one.

    Two, i definitely don’t like the idea that it doesn’t lock down to the top if it was designed to aid in kickback, I would think that to be a major consideration. I guess your usage will tell. 
    Three, I can see the added advantage to this tool to be repetitive cutting of exact size strips off of a board without having to cut them against the fence. To do this, I use this devise from Rockler. https://www.rockler.com/thin-rip-tablesaw-jig
    Probably the only Harvey tool that I have seen that I wouldn’t buy. Sorry for the negative feedback.
