You’ve used your drafting skills, your routing skills, and your dovetailing skills to design and build projects. I bet you’ve even used the Pythagorean Theorem once or twice. But have you ever used Crockpot Mojo while in the shop?

I would argue that every tool, by definition, makes a job easier and thus has crockpot mojo to a certain degree. It’s easy to rip straight down a board with a table saw the first time. I could never do that with a hand saw. Ripping with a hand saw would be easier than with an ax and an ax would be easier than a rock. Even a rock has crockpot mojo as compared to your bare hands, unless you are Chuck Norris
To carry your cooking analogy a bit further, I would say that using a half-blind dovetail jig in an inappropriate situation is like trying to cook a standing rib roast (or a quiche, or bread) in a crock pot. Great tool applied to the wrong job….
The PC4212 was the very first thing that came into my mind when I heard the definition of crockpot mojo. The second, the blo wipe on finishes. Honestly, for small, no-wear projects, it is my favorite finish!
(At first, I thought the title was crackpot mojo, and I was confused.)
