Nice Tip

[barb.j.enders]

I watched this video a month or so ago. 

There is a great tip in about 5:55.  I finally got around to taking the wax paper to the workroom.  Wiped my table down before starting work on another layer of the mandala.  Wow!  It was so easy to spin at the corners.  I have waxed the table before, but this was so easy to do as a touch up.  Also did it between blade changes.  Wax paper will be a fixture in the workshop now.

I have heard this before. I am gonna have to give it a try.

Why not wax your table? Johnson Paste Wax is what I have used for years.

When I was a kid we used wax paper to make sliding boards slicker.

I'll second the Johnsons paste wax.. Bought a can back in 2007.. and I'm still using the same can.. I not only wax the scroll saw table with it.. but also the table saw the planner bed bandsaw table the jointer top etc. and every summer I clean my shop real well and actually wax the machines and stands.. Saw dust doesn't stick to them so bad and it keeps my tools looking new. My can is getting pretty low now as the last two years I've been seeing the bottom of the can but still plenty in the edges of the can..

I have waxed my table.  This is just a quick way to "top it up"

I have waxed the table, this is just a great top up in between full waxing.

Great idea, thanks Barb.

I had to wax the DeWalt.  The Pegas is over 18 months old and the epoxy finish is like new.

Barb, I had seen that tip somewhere before but had forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder.

After commenting on your post, I went back to view the video. It turns out that Mytoya is a "friend" on FB and she lives just a couple of hours from me. We have been trading emails and projects. She is a very nice lady and I truly enjoy watching her videos because they are so relaxing. Her voice will lull you into a nap.
