## Summary

Mike Pekovich, Tom McKenna, and Ben Strano discuss woodworking techniques and shop solutions, including finishing spoons with deer antlers, attaching jigs to a Hommer sliding table saw, and creating a lemon-scented paste wax using citrus thinner. They also address a reader's issue with tiny scratches on a honed blade, attributing it to grit contamination or technique, and recommend interlocking rubber stall mats for unsealed cement shop floors.
