: ^^^ Yep, same here.

: And now, for today's hand dandy shop tip: I keep a 3' x 5' piece of
: 1/4" Baltic birch plywood in my sheet goods storage area
: dedicated for use as a cutting table. I also have a Fiskars
: roller cutter, and HIGHLY recommend it! Whenever I need to cut
: cloth, the plywood comes out and sawhorses or trash cans serve
: as supports to lay it on for an instant table. I never have to
: spend an hour clearing off a table or bench first, and the piece
: of plywood is kept clean and smooth. Makes cutting bias strips,
: as well as other pieces, a snap.

When I cut mine out I cover my workbench with my dedicated piece of masonite (4'x7' ish). It's been quite resilient and is easy on blades.
