NICE!!! Mr Jepson. If you should undertake an adjuster sometime, I'd like to hear about it as I'm still looking at several options and haven't quite made-up my mind yet.

Actually, I have bought quite a few tools off of EBay, but as Mr. Kleso points out it takes time and sometimes the time spent looking is rather annoying as for most hobbyists, time looking for stuff...

Thank you for the comments. In response to Grizzly, shipping across the border (i.e. international rates) for very small orders, say a few drill bits and end mills is very expensive compared to local...

Note: I realize this board may not be quite the right place for such a post, but it seems a lot of the people who neander also do machining and post here so...

Thanks for the links. My...

This message is intended for the people at Lee Valley as well as Canadian home shop guys, namely wood and metal maniacs. As many know, and the people at Lee Valley certainly know, many woodworkers...

My appologies, didn't know the Hammer was so expensive!

I don't know about the quality of their jointer planer, and am very curious also. I have an LT16HD bandsaw and am very hapy with it, not so sure of the customer service as have seen very many...

Both surfaces (top and bottom) are glued and braded to the framing, I was just wondering if a secondary wear surface was worth it.

Thank you for the ideas, I think I might go for BLO and wax, and if I end up abusing the top a little too much I can always add a hardboard top later on. Would a couple coats of furniture wax over...

Top and bottom are also 5/8" MDF. (Noticed my contributer status ran out, gonna have to fix that!). Also going to add hardwood boards around the perimeter.

Hello everyone,
I'm well on my way to finishing up my torsion box and was wondering what you've used as a finish (BLO, wax, varnish, laquer etc.) and how it's worked out for you. My box is built of...

If your router table can be built as a TS extension than you don't have to worry so much about size as your TS top can also serve as a router table extension.

My shop is in a barn and insulated with three types of insulation, sprayed polyurethane for the walls, some fiberglass batting also for the walls and finally cellulose for the ceiling covered with a...

Hi, went through the same questions some time ago and came up with several alternatives which I whittled down to one for best potential results (got the stuff, just haven't had time to do it yet). O1...

I agree with both M Sabo and M. Harris, the money was mine, but they could have kept it. As far as customer service is concerned, they seem to have a lot to learn such as keeping a few parts in...

That would be brokerage fees for the shipping company bringing the saw into Canada from the States (thought i'd clear that up).

Hello all,
Some of you may recall a post of mine concerning the trouble I had getting a part for my LT16HD band saw. Things worked out quite well in the end after some help from the folks here at...

band saw: Tool primarily used to turn perfectly good stock, (i. e. Tiger maple, bird's eye etc), like 8/4 or even logs, into thin slivers of kindling.

Hello Mr. Bregar,
I've built a small timber frame addition on an old stone house (16' X 24') and I'd say plan well ahead as just working the timbers can be a very long process. Don't forget that a...

Actually, I did call them, unfortunately the person I spoke to didn't know if Oxpho Blue is available in Canada and wasn't sure who to refer me to to answer me, but I will try again, only a little...

Hi again, I have looked up information on gun blue products on a few internet sites, mostly people who restore old firearms, and some do mention that some blueing products seem less resistant to rust...

Hello, me again. Thanks for the responses. Mr. Smalser (if you read this) I've pretty much read all the information I could find about caring for and rehabing tools (what you've written as well as...

Hello all, like some of you, I live in an area where the climate varies a lot (Canada). The shop is in a barn and not heated very often. So I've set up a temporary spot in my basement to prep my hand...

Hello Mr. Davis

Bob Smalser has put together a fine article on sharpening a drawknife. You can find it in several locations, notably on the WK Fine tools web site at...

Thanks guys, issue resolved and got a call from their customer service manager (Shawn) with an apology and an assurance for future service. Once again I appreciate SMC member's input. Oh! and as for...
