I was doing the morning routine looking at CL, drinking coffee and found some tools and wood that made me get off my duff.

The mortiser was new-in-box for $200 and the dovetail jig was $115.
Not a steal but cheaper than buying on Amazon plus it saved me a lot of money (and time) looking at bigger mortising machines and the Omni jig vs. Leigh D4R vs Akeda "dilemma."

The Walnut was $230. I'm not sure on the on the exact bd. ft.
It was $90 for 70 bd. ft. of the narrower wood and I think $2.50 or so for the wider. Either way, good price and more than I need at this time.

Great find..... curious about your comment regarding the Leigh vs. Akeda dilemma. How do you see these two jigs? Which do you prefer and why? Thanks for your input.

Take care,
