OK: I'm a fairly new to Sawmill Creek and I'm loving the community spirit and camaraderie. So many helpful and committed woodworkers of all types.
I personally like building furniture, have been doing it for a few years, and am OK but trying to be better.
Mark Singer: this goes to you and your post on the Blue Spruce Chisels as well as your JK like recent project for Stan. They are outstanding and beautiful. Thanks for making me aware of them. There are so many other great projects out there but Marks were the last ones I saw and got me motivated to write.
What is driving me to start this thread is that I am looking for Canadian woodworkers (I'm just north of Toronto) {who are you and what project types do you like working on} and their insights into their local resources.
Are there any Canadian versions of BS Chisels out there (ie. is anyone making great quality unique tools)? Is anyone out there building Krenov type pieces? My next projects will be a Philly style Low and Highboy. Finding plans is rough (just orderd Gene Landons Low Boy plans). Could still use a full Philly High boy plan.
We have Lee Valley which is great and there are 3 sawmills with decent supplies of wood that I am aware of. But I'd love it if I could find anyone making interesting tools in Canada, interesting plans. A place to find quality used tools etc etc. Great pieces someone built that I could see.
So any Canadians out there with ideas.
Appreciate it
All the best
Ralph
