Yoga Mat Sits Well in Shop
Apr 05, 2007
A well-worn (or long unused) yoga mat doesn’t have to go into the trash. Most of these mats have a high-tack, almost sticky surface. So a workpiece placed on the mat won’t slide easily when you want to plane or sand a board without clamps. In addition, the mat will protect the workbench, preserve the sharp blades of hand tools, and provide a soft, nonscratch surface for a project. You can even take a nap on it. To order one, go to www.matsmatsmats.com, or wherever athletic equipment is sold. Plan to spend about $20.
