They are just cheap box fans but they move alot of air. I spay when it's -10 Celcius so I've got a big 3 kw duct heater feeding the shop with warm air while they run, so it's pulling alot of air...
Can I spray my alcohol based shellac safely with my waterbased setup? I have a Styrofoam booth made of 4x8 sheets of foam with two box fans.
I've had poor luck with trimming preglued maple thin edgebanding. I'm tearing out when trimming it with the Lee Valley trimming tool. Maybe beacause I'm new at it, maybe because I hate edgebanding....
Are they replacing the Veritas Low Angled Smoother (LAS) ? Seems only a mite smaller.
I was given the LAS after I bought the Bevel Up Smoother. Didn't think I'd like it but I find I reach for it...
I've had the Lee Valley Sanding Block for a while now and was getting more and more frustrated. Seemed expensive, but probably a good idea, I hate sanding anyways so anything to make it easier. ...
Thanks Bob.
I really appreciate the reply. It takes time we're all short of.
I've already got out the fractional calipers and attacked the drawings, and my old man glasses so I can clearly see...
I've built a prairie style morris chair and am getting down to the seat. I think I'll use four inches of high density foam for the bottom cushion and I'm at the point of deciding on the bottom...
Performance aside (it will take more than a perfect saw to make all MY cuts perfect), how it fits the hand seems to be the deciding factor for me from now on. My hands don't seem too big to me,...

I've got a 45 and like it but I like my Veritas Small Plow Plane better. I guess I use it mostly for groovin rather than moulding. I've...
Ohhhhhh.... I actually debated posting 'cause of the poor picker... Mr. Lee... be nice.
The smaller BU smoother has a totally different feel than the larger one. I think I reach for it far more...
My new Skew Block, Scraper and Router Planes arrived today! (along with a few other goodies, two new roller stands, fantastic useful things!)
Over the last while I've collected quite a few...

They sold me the BU Jack with the 50 deg. iron instead of the 25. Maybe if you pay the small difference for the toothed?
I bought the LA smoother first, then got the BU Smoother used (along with...
Hey Jim
Which rolls do you use from Supergrit?
Just bought a 100 and 180 grit A275, but they are only 2 3/4 wide. AND it costs me 80 bucks a roll up here. I may try and sit them side by side...
I've gotta start by saying it's been pretty ummmmm OK in use. It's just that I ocassionally get an unpleasant flashback or two.
Installing it was a nightmare. It took a looong time before it...
Perfect tools made by hand. They were a pleasure to deal with and the holdfasts are a pleasure to work with.

I think this is the handplane book by Schwarz. Good luck
I found a six year old Lie-Nielsen 4 1/2 for sale, never used, still in the box. Does anyontone know if there have been changes made to them in this time? I'm wondering about the chipbreaker and...
Hi Greg
Very nice.
Can I get the outside dimensions? I've been looking to rack my planes for the easy grab and return. Sooner or later I'm going to knock one off my bench. I'm wondering...
That was exactly what I needed Derek.
Thanks
(but now I need, (want?), a grinder.... crap)
I sharpen with a veritas jig and waterstones to get a 25 deg. bevel (leaves a flat full bevel) and 30 deg. micro bevel.
When freehand stropping on mdf with lee valley green cmpd does it just...
I bought a complete set of Norton Waterstones. The 220 and the flattening stone are more trouble than glass and paper.
I'd like to replace them with a diamond stone and avoid the constant paper...
I'd agree about Bob Lang. http://www.craftsmanplans.com/index.html
The books are great for browsing and choosing, his plans are great for building. The price is great considering the investment...
Quite the cosmic vortex.
I'm having the same problem with my new Lee Valley nortons. I've just been at the point of abandoning them or trading them in. I just got the stones and the cambered...
