🪚 Awesome Carve Tip by Steve Russell 🪚
Protect your workbench like a pro! Cover it with freezer paper — just cut it to size and secure it with blue painter’s tape, matte side down. The shiny plastic backing makes it durable and keeps finishes, glue, and messes off your bench. ✨ Simple, smart, and super handy! 👏
