Had to open the curtains near the mill this morning as it's starting to get a bit chilly here. Unfortunately, the glare off the table is so bad I can barely see what I'm doing. The photo doesn't do justice to the glare, but I need to go get my sunglasses!

Also, nicely ground table tops scratch so easily, unlike the old practice of smooth planing them
 
I've taken time to engine turn a few shiney surfaces and it sure cut down on the glare plus it looks soooo cool!

This is true, but fortunately I have only minor scratches to date. Seriously thinking about making some plywood covers for the table.
 
buy some magnetic sheets and cut to fit. Makes cleanup easy. White ones work well.
