No, I haven't tried that yet, but that's a very good idea to look out for. For now, the mark is pushed out of the way. This week is VBS and then I won't be on any woodworking project for a while. Picking up an old truck soon and will start working on it as my main hobby, until the money runs dry and back to woodworking with scraps again.
