I've just finished a M&T jig and have some issues (I would post pics, but I am without my camera).
1) Already posted this in another thread, but I'll post it again since I'm already blabbering: I made it out of oak. What finish should I use to prevent warping an wear?
2) It has two arms which rotate on aluminum extrusions, that are bolted together through the face of the jig. Currently I have nylon washers and regular nuts holding them down (which must remain tight enough that there is no vertical play, but still be able to swing). However, when I swing that arms in the same direction as the bolt's threads, then nuts loosens. Any solutions?
