    One more tip on wax cleaning - Years ago I took a large soft
    toothbrush and cut the head off leaving about a half inch of the
    handle. Then I drilled a small hole in this part. Attach it with a
    screw with the bristles facing down on the left rear side of your
    benchpin. As you are carving you can swipe your wax model gently
    across the toothbrush so wax doesn'taccumulate, plus you can see what
    your're doing and you don't have to lay down your work and pick up
    that toothbrush to clean it off. It does save time and helps keep
    your work sharp.Then when it's finished I always wash it off with a
    soft toothbrush and gentle soap. When you rinse it off it's really
    clean.
