We’ll look forward to those picture, Alain. Sounds like folks without a lot of money to invest in tools will be able to learn from you, since you’ve made several of your own.

as that i explain in a Dan blog space, here is not a problem of money but mainly of disponibility, you don’t find anything in the stores, when you ask about some thing different of a hammer or a saw, the seller open the kind of eyes when he look for a ovni
one day i am looking for a mortising chisel and bits, explaining that it ’s a kind of drill that do square hole…

Alain,

Your shop sounds really interesting. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of it. You appear to be an innovative and resourceful woodworker- one from whom we all could learn a great deal.

Scott, thank you, i’m not sure to be innovative, but i try, for the ressource i don’t have options, but i like, i discovered that it’s a great pleasur to work with its very own tools, even they have defects, or imperfections, they have the great quality to be “ownhandmade”.

Welcome to LJs and what an impressive shop you have. Very resourceful to create your own table saw from a circular saw… It sounds like you really have a passion for woodworking and the inconvienience of not having a tool store close by isn’t going to stop you. Well done!

hi Mark , thank you, my inconvenience is not the proximity of the tool store, but the proximity of the price with my possibilities, tools are really expensives, prohibitives, ask for a makita thickness planer 12 1/2 the modest price of US $1870,00, and more you don’t have choice, it’s one model and so. it’s for this reason that I ‘m looking for a good buddy (forum) who help to buy at a cool price and with a good choice, third world is sometimes very complicated, and other time very simple !?
