 Bench cookies. What are they and what are they used for? The primary purpose is to be able to be on your workbench and put a workpiece up on to four or six bench cookies spread out supporting your workpiece and when you do that that workpiece is not going anywhere when you're when you're putting downward pressure on You can then use that to sand. You can use a router You can do a number of things without having to secure that with clamps. I Tend to go overboard and use clamps when I can anyway also with a workpiece up if you have any kind of a jig That you're trying to attach You don't have to be around the edge of your work table You can attach to your workpiece because it's raised up and you got room for the for the clamps to go underneath my first set were from from bench dog and they're called bench cookies and they're just look just like hockey puck then I recently got the Bench cookie plus work Ripper master kit and that came with eight bench cookies It comes with a lot of different attachments. You could use them quarter inch dog holes You can either have the long part down So it goes quite a way down or you could have the short part down so that it's higher up So it's very handy for circular saw Applications and jigsaw You can also attach two of them together if you don't have beth dog holes in your workbench Then you can accomplish the same thing by using these little connectors And then here's what Rockler has put together to go on top of your bench cookie in order to do the painting application so you have a nice little point that's not going to damage your fine woodwork while you're doing the finish But allow you to do both sides. Well, you could also just take a three-quarter inch plywood half inch plywood put a screw through it and Use that in order to do your painting applications. I don't know about you But if I'm a doing a project I probably have many more than one piece to get painted So just having a set of these of your own now Don't lend them to your wife at Halloween because those nice good-looking birch three-quarter inch plywood pieces will come back forever painted orange in the colors of Halloween So I hope you found this useful Give me a you know Subscribe give me a like give me your comments Encourage this old fool to do more of our three-minute overviews small workshop guy signing off
