Sacrificial Work Surface

… you don't want to ruin the table !!!

The big brown rectangle is a piece of 3/16" Masonite. This makes a very inexpensive sacrificial top. I just wiped it down with linseed oil to make it purty again; a light sanding once in a while doesn't hurt either. And when it gets too grody, throw it out and get another. It's like a giant placemat. Here, I have a placemat on top of a placemat. What does that say about me? Probably nothing very good.

Work Box

I got side-tracked onto this, and at risk of turning this into a furniture thread, I think it's worth sharing. This is just a box. It was motivated by two things:

  1. I often find I am filing something ( like a pickguard ) across the front edge of the workbench - a very awkward angle. I've ruined the natural spot - the right corner - with the vise - worthwhile.
  2. I need a place to store my growing collection of templates, which is getting pretty heavy.
