Wow guys...... thats alot of information and alot of options for a beginning builder, and I'm definitely going to be considering all of these options. I do have some razor blades but really liking the idea of being able to sharpen the blades so that I can reuse them..... Also, I've been reading about builders using some sort of wax paper to cover their plans with while on the tables and I'm a bit confused as to what kind of wax paper is used... So my question is this: What kind of wax paper do you guys use, and where can you get them at? I've been looking, but the only one's I've found so far are too thick and frosted to be able to see through, so if someone can add to this, please let us know........

Thank you guys for all your suggestions, and please keep the ideas coming so that other beginning builders can have lots of options as well.......
