Free set of NEW chisels - cost of shipping only - one small catch... - 28 replies After recently purchasing a new set of chisels, I looked to make room for them while I construct a dedicated drawer in my workbench. I came across a brand new full set of 4 Marples / Record chisels (made in England) that I had purchased over 10-15 years ago. I have never opened the package. I must have gotten 2 sets as I am using the same chisel... |

Chisels of my Dreams? I bought mine! - 23 replies To me, there is something fascinating about chisels. When you get a good one and learn how to sharpen and use it, and see great results, you get a feeling of satisfaction, but then, at least for me, buying chisels became an addiction. I began with some Marples (blue handles), stepped up and got some green handled Marples, had a Sandvik or ... |

Went toward the Beech on Black Friday! - 11 replies We don’t have Black Friday sales (officially) in Canada, but as I stopped in at the wholesale lumber supplier Friday afternoon to price out some 8/4 material for an upcoming bench build, the best price ever on hardwood just about hit me between the eyes… I priced out Maple and Cherry, as that was my intended species for a new Roub... |

My first Laguna / Baldor let down - 23 replies I use Laguna’s 16HD bandsaw and their tilting head mortise machine, and have had no issues up until now with either of them. Since I have a full time job, they are both used sparingly. While others have complained about Laguna customer service, I have not had any issue with them. Unfortunately, I just had the Made in the USA motor (4... |

Miller Falls experts? - 10 replies I turned the page on the Lee Valley calendar the other day and noticed the Miller Falls hand drills. I remembered seeing one my dad had given me years ago, found it in my shop and sure enough it matches the one on the calendar. Anybody have one like this? There are only two of the “bits” left in the head of the unit,... |

Help name our female Rottweiler puppies? - 40 replies Appreciate any suggestions, humorous or not… We got two 5 month old pups this past weekend and to be honest, the names the breeder had given them don’t really suit them… I kind of wanted to name them Lebron and D-Wade, but the wife gently reminded me they are girls... Lumberjocks have not let me down yet!! N... |

A long overdue THANK YOU to Mads! - 7 replies After purchasing a couple of small Bridge City tools awhile ago, I had made a comment on this forum about the lack of the usual BC box, they arrived in a plastic bag. Well, I was surprised to see a package in the mailbox from Mads a few weeks later… And I laughed out loud when I saw what it was… he has made me a storage box... |

Squares for sale on eBay - 23 replies I am one of the first people to justify a tool purchase, but this seems a little overboard, unless you have unlimited resources and are just collecting squares for show. I’d be scared to use them, and what if you dropped one? :( Your thoughts?? |

Even Bridge City apparently hit by hard times... or just cutting back? - 29 replies I was greeted tonight by a box on my desk, an order that my wife had gotten for me! It’s like an early Christmas! I was excited to open the packaging and expected to see the usual boxes they send to keep the tools in – I own a number of their earlier tools (have had most of them 20-25 years), but I haven’t purchased anything... |

I pulled it out, and wheeled it outside and I had notic... |
