    What planes do you regret buying?

    Thread Starter: Matt Lau

    With the Lee Valley Cyber Monday sale coming, I can feel my willpower weakening. I'm leery of buying stuff that I don't need. What tools have you regretted buying? Please talk me out of buying more planes.

    I'll soon be buying a used 8" jointer, and I'm trying to determine what tools I'll need for a full check, & later setup. This would include testing flatness, twists, etc. The tables, the fence, and whatever else. I know the basic concepts, but I can't figure out which exact items are best, to...

    Thread Starter: dennis thompson

    I was reading a thread about hiring an electrician and it seems that tradespeople are all very busy and getting responses is difficult, At the same time I read stories all the time about college graduates working at low paying jobs that have nothing to do with their degrees. So I'm wondering if...

    I purchased my Grizzly G0658 back in 2009. At the time I was a novice wood turner and I did not give any thought to whether I needed reversing capability on a lathe.

    I recently ordered a few new gouges from Thompson Tools. Doug is a great guy to deal with and I will definitely order from him again.
