Thank you for all of this work. I have a bandsaw that desperately needs an outfeed table and, I'm sure, many other uses.

[@CarlStammerjohn]

When I was teaching, that was the most common use for the supports.

Old carpenters used to keep a bar of soap or a candle stub in their toolbox to lubricate screws. Beeswax may be hard to find.

[@CarlStammerjohn]

I have heard that. I've also heard that the water in the soap may cause issues, but I'm sure they are minimal. The nice thing about the beeswax is it sticks to the screws better than candle or paraffin wax.

Maybe, but once you find some, a hockey puck size chunk will,last a lifetime.
