I get it at the Depot of Homes, always keep a can on hand. It also works well for a final top coat on turnings to make them feel super smooth.
My local hardware store switched from Johnson's to the Minwax equivalent a couple years ago so I use that now. I go through a lot of that stuff. It works great to buff out a satin finish on an instrument. Or as a finish all by itself on shop made metal parts. And it's great as a screw lube.
It's also handy for rubbing down your lathe bed, your hand plane soles and any other metal tool you would rather not have covered in rust. 
I use it to style my hair
The agrarian arguments for DST have always been weak at best.
Daylight Savings Time (to this day) has it's biggest proponents in Chambers Of Commerce. It's been long accepted that giving the American Worker an extra hour of daylight has been a prime engine for boosting economics. An extra hour of daylight after leaving work encouraged workers to shop, barbecue out, and participate in leisure activities such as golf. Officials of the golf industry testified during 1980s congressional hearings relating to keeping DST or even extending its reach testified that DST was responsible for somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million in greens fees alone.
It doesn't take much to realize that it's good for business, even though it is obviously determental to our biorhythms and internal clocks.
It takes my dog weeks to get over not being fed at the same time HE thinks it is!
We should take more ques from the animal world. They have a lot more figured out than we do.
As far as the extra hour of daylight being beneficial, I can totally believe that we all have to deal with it so the golf courses can make extra money for a month.
Were I live, it's dark by 4pm in the winter. Moving the clocks back only buys a little extra light for a few weeks. It's hardly worth it.
Not to mention, you're also moving the clock back in the am too. So it takes an extra hour to get light out.
I say just leave it alone and if you want more light, move to the equator. or AZ.
Yeah, I've said for years, move it half an hour so it's in the middle and then leave it there forever. Problem solved. 
So anyway, I hear there is some kind of bass building competition coming up…..
..... and you can be in it!

You don't want to do that. You'd miss Betelgeuse (sp?), Plains Trains & Automobiles and the early onslaught (SP?) of holiday movies.
Why actually do anything interesting when you can mind-meld with the sofa and give your conscientiousness to magic screens?
Next month it will be the season to watch my favorite holiday movies. Die Hard (1988) and Stalag 17 (1953)You don't want to do that. You'd miss Betelgeuse (sp?), Plains Trains & Automobiles and the early onslaught (SP?) of holiday movies.
Wise words.
I usually sit on my duff on TG. This year? super genius said, "hey, wanna try deep frying a turkey this year?"
Now, guess who's prepping a turkey instead of drooling in front of the TV with dill pickle potato chip crumbs all over his chest, or playing guitar building in the basement?
Deep frying a turkey? I'm concerned for you, brother. As much as we joke about our neighbourly cross-border differences, that sounds like a you-tube barbecue fire, waiting to happen
Edit.. and Happy Turkey Day to those south of the longest undefended border in the world! We had ours last month, because we harvest earlier.

Yeah, I'm totally on board with this being one of the worst ideas I've ever had. And that's saying something.
But I'm in up to my ears now and no plan B.
Oh well, I have a fire extinguisher.

If it's a grease fire, toss a bucket of water on it. Have someone record it and share the YouTube link after you get to the hospital. (Seriously though, be safe)
