I make a spoilboard (wasteboard) for my LongMill Mk2 and talk you through some of the best practices I do and worst mistakes to avoid. We talk about some of the different types of spoilboard you can make and ultimately why I go with the one in this video.

***Update***
I should have been clearer in my video - if you are going to tram your spindle first (which can be beneficial), it needs to be to a flat surface like Mark shows in this video by using a pane of glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzFPadoZH5Q&t=680
