An update on my MDF "Moxen Block": I was curious to see how the dovetail slots in MDF handled pressure away from the the surface of the block, so I made what is basically a planing stop. I put a piece against it and planed away. It held up without any apparent problems. Right now I'm trying out leaving the block on one end of my bench to see what uses I find for it. -
Finished up the wings for the Kapex. Only thing worth mentioning is for the stop block, I wanted it not to spin so I could operate it one-handed. So I inserted a couple 3/8" dowels inline with the hold down. With a little sanding they fit snuggly into the dovetail slot and keep the block from spinning. (5/16" dowel might work without sanding but it felt like it might be a little loose.)

Final two Preppin Weapons came today to complete my set. A year ago I would not have believed I would be buying five sanding blocks, but they are so handy to have at the ready with the different grips and the colors work well for easy identification. Also thanks to those who have pointed out they can hold multiple pieces of sandpaper for quick replacements. Also bought my first 7" holdfast - I have a couple 4"ers. Initial reactions is the extra reach is worth it. Also feels like it has a little more holding power but I'm not certain. I'm already thinking I should have bought two.

Funny thing about quick builds and prototypes, If they work they tend linger for a lot longer than you planned. -
Quick project tonight from some scrap 2x pine. No planning, no finishing. Only need it temporarily to get the plants off the floor so my dog won’t step on them again. Some time soon(ish) will be a potting bench build to replace this.
