Wax on, Wax off
I don't know when this changed. But I just noticed that SS is promoting Minwax now. I'm wondering if this change is just a benefit to SS, or is Minwax in some way better than JPW.

Re: Wax on, Wax off
I don't know about Shopsmith but I still use Johnsons Paste Wax and always will. It has served my purposes for many, many years now and I'm sticking to it. I keep an extra can on hand just in case. What I have on hand now should last me until I wax no more.

Re: Wax on, Wax off
I agree. I'm not about to abandon JPW just because SS has. But I would consider changing to Minwax if it was substantially better in some way. That's why I asked.

Word Wrap Disruption
Dusty's ginormous photo has messed up word wrap on my monitor.
Re: Wax on, Wax off
Yes I noticed that too, but will have to just get use to it.

Back when the wide pix were scaling to the screen, the word
wrap followed suit(correctly). I assume since that has been
reverted back, that it caused the problem a couple of days ago and Admin did so since he had not time to fix it properly. I have faith
it will all be resolved eventually.

Are you referring to the image of JPW?algale wrote:Dusty's ginormous photo has messed up word wrap on my monitor.
If so, it is only 300 x 300 pixels.
I'll edit it out if that would help.

Don't Edit The Image; Let Admin Diagnose The Problem
Yes, Dusty,I am referring to the JPW image. No, don't edit it. Maybe it will help Admin figure out what is going on. For such a modestly sized imaged (based on the number of pixels), it is occupying a huge amount of screen space and mucking up word wrap.
