Trend Airsheild, My lungs thank you
10 hours ago by Andrew | 3 comments »
I have been on the fence about buying one of these for a year now. Christmas is on its way, and Andy has some work ahead of him to provide family and freinds with the gifts they deserve. There is a lot of wood dust that is going to be produced, and I don’t need to store it in my lungs this year. Anyway, this is a positive air preasure filtrating system. Means it constantly blows filtered air over your face so dirty wood dusty air does not enter. It works well. The battery will last...
A Very Mini Shoulder Plane
11 hours ago by 3fingerpat | 7 comments »
This was a total impulse purchase, when I got the ad I couldn’t pass it up, if you are into hand planes, then you know what I mean ;o) Last week at the WW Show in SoCal, the LV rep had one and let me try it out. I knew it was going to be small, but Wow, it is very mini. The Norris Style adjuster makes setting the blade quick and easy. In use, I found it somewhat difficult to use on tenon shoulders due to it’s very small size. It worked better when the tenon was shorter than...
Perfect Sized Marking Guage
22 hours ago by 3fingerpat | 11 comments »
When I first saw this Marking Guage by LV, I did not hesitate to purchase it. This is exactly what I had been wanting. It never fails that when I am using my single sided Marking Guage, I always forget to mark all my boards before changing the marking guage setting. Trying to go back and get the exact setting from the previous setting is almost impossible. So when I saw this marking guage I had no doubt this would be just what the doctor ordered. I especially love the small pocket size, ...
Paul Beebe #11 Carving Knife for Lee Valley
23 hours ago by just_adam | 5 comments »
Hello and this review carries my initial impressions of a fine carving knife made by Paul Beebe for Lee Valley Tools in Canada. At the time, it cost me about $33USD and presently it is in there on line catalog at this address: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=31085&cat=1,130,43332,44073&ap=1 I’ve used all sorts of knives in my meandering about the wood. Opinels, Ken Onions, single edge razors, XActos…James Krenov wrote a great passage about using k...
Easy router dadoes with DadoMax
1 day ago by Peter O | 8 comments »
The DadoMax makes easy, accurate router dados. Setup is easy and it makes tight-fitting dados regardless of material thickness. The DadoMax is constructed of high-quality materials, and has a large enough surface that there is no worry of the router tipping. It comes in a metal case and includes replacements parts for items that might be easily lost. The DadoMax adjusts to a variety of straightedges, and you can buy the DadoMax without a straightedge if you already have one. I only gave...
Screw-Outs Don't Work
1 day ago by papadan | 15 comments »
http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10155_12602_00952154000P?keyword=52154&sLevel=0 LOML saw Bob Vs commercial and bought me a set a couple years ago. Today, 1/2” wood screws holding cabinet door hinges that have stripped out phillips heads. Guess what, Bob V can kiss my A$$! These things are supposed to bite into the screw and back it out, all they do is spin in the stripped head. Even tried an impact driver and nothing! This system won’t let me give -5 stars or I would!

New toy for my shop
2 days ago by Termite | 8 comments »
I just got my new Jet sander delivered a couple of days ago (Tuesday). It comes in three boxes, two are managable…the one containing the stand and the box containing the feed table/conveyor and feed motor. The third box contains the motor unit and drum…it weighs somewhere between 70,000 & 75,000 pounds (or so it felt like) when I had to unpack it and set it up by myself.A friend said he would come help me set it up this weekend but I was way too impatient to watch the sander j...
Another Screaming Bargain of a Saw Blade
2 days ago by knotscott | 9 comments »
This review is as much a deal alert as it is a testimonial. This deal has been on Ebay for several weeks now from Cripe Distribution, and I’m amazed people haven’t scarfed these up like free champagne. If you’re not familiar with it, the Delta 35-7657 was originally the DeWalt DW7657 40T ATB general purpose blade….the same blade that Wood Mag rated favorably against the Forrest WWII a few years back when it was considered a good bargain at $50. It appears to be the sa...
Well worth the money
3 days ago by Joe | 32 comments »
I find this sander outstanding to use. I purchased this when I realized I would be sanding forever on all those little pieces that made up the two excavator I built. Very easy to use and changing belt to spindle is a snap. Just remember it has left handed threads. I have read on the internet that people had problems with the tracking on the belt. Sure, mine did not track straight right out of the box, but it took a total of 15 seconds for it to track dead straight. You set it once and that’s ...
