Tool Reviews

[Sal Morgani]

I have often read posts where someone says that the review on a tool , such as the Delta lathe, was not favorable. Could someone tell me where are these reviews listed? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Sal, tool reviews are not all in "one place". They are in the various woodworking magazines as well as both commercial and personal web sites. (I have a few on my own website, for example) Often, when someone refers to "review....was not favorable", they are refering to the magazine reviews which are more widely distributed and known. There are a few individual woodworkers who do a lot of review work, such as a fellow named John Lucas and one named Tom Heinz. I believe they are at www.woodshopdemos.com (http://www.woodshopdemos.com) and www.newwoodworker.com (http://www.newwoodworker.com) or something like that. (I'm traveling and don't have my list of URLs with me.
