Sticky Blocks (Bench Top Savers)
Sticky blocks hold your wood 3/4+ inches above the workbench to prevent damaging the workbench when cutting or routing. Place a 1/2" thick scrap between the work and the bench when drilling to keep from drilling into your work bench. The non-slip pads on the top and bottom keep the work secure as you work. They also hold your work piece in place as you sand
	The blocks are as simple to make as they are useful to use.
Just cut scrap 3/4 inch thick wood or mdf blocks to the size you want. I cut mine 4 inches square
	Then cut the non-slip mat and glue the mat to both sides of the blocks. I used carpet underlayment called Rug Stay. You can use a router pad but it will cost much more and really not work any better. Cut the pad slightly smaller than your block. Spray glue ( I used 3M) on both the pad and the block, count to 10 to allow the glue to get tacky ,and place the pads on both sides of the blocks. Rub the pads down to insure contact
Make as many as you want. I recommend at least 6 sticky blocks. I hope you find them as useful as I do.
