I swore I’d never do that. Buy this tool, buy that tool, get Veritas, get Lie-Nielsen, get whatever to make your woodworking better.
That just changed. This stuff. BUY THIS STUFF NOW.
SWMBO is a chef (which makes me really, really lucky). She uses these in baking all the time – they’re sheets of baker’s parchment paper. They pop up out of the box like kleenex.
Glue doesn’t stick to them. Glue doesn’t soak through them. Finish (apparently) won’t soak through them. They’re coated in cellulose, not wax. They’re cheap, disposable – like paper towels – and handy for just about everything. I bought a couple of boxes and stuck them on the shelf, and I find myself reaching for them a lot.
Get some, you’ll thank me.
But yes… now I feel like this:
