Tiny gloat and question

Dual post here.Finally got around to building a base on casters to go under a 4-drawerfile cabinet in the basement (if it can be called a basement!) and puttingit in place last night. Out of one of the drawers fell one of my ex'spurchases. It is book(let), circa 1970. EAA How-to Series, "Basic HandTools, Vol. 2," I showed it to a pilot friend this morning who said,"Wow! An Environmental Aircraft Association book. This has to be almosta collector's item."Not sure it can be called a collector's item, but it has a lot of greatstuff in it. As my friend said, lots of things change, but basicwoodworking is constant. Though it is hardly likely drilling cowlfastener holes, cutting glass tubing, or bending tubing with spring typetube benders is in my future, it has a lot of good, practical information. It's what I call a score.Question:How do you folks keep your tool tops in good condition, specifically tablesaws? Keeping them waxed is one thing I've read, is that practical, anddoes it work? It's time I cleaned up the tiny almost-rusted areas on myTS top and make certain it is babied in the future.Glenna

If the floors, counters, and laundry were made out of cast iron, I'd want 'em gleaming. :)
