This is the exact kind of customer care that I have come to expect and appreciate from Lee Valley. They have and followed strict Covid protocols to keep their staff and customers safe while also...

Thanks for sharing your shop build. Looks like it will be a lot fun and stress. I'm eagerly following :)

Hi Craig

I heard Rollie on the podcast too, definitely helped. What really did it for me was measuring the db of the machines I already have. My planner is way louder than the Supercell and even...

I just spent the past month deciding on a new dust collector for my small shop (19X12 single car garage). What I ended up buying today was the Oneida Supercell.

It has a Hepa filter and is the...

My other answered question was about CFM. They state on their site that max CFM with a 4" hose is 700. But the outlet is 6" with a 4" adapter. So I asked what the CFM with just the 6" outlet and the...

Harvey just got back to me. I assume as it is a Chinese company they were celebrating Lunar New Year.

HEPA filter and the preliminary separation & Gyro air separation system, make it possible...

I have a question for G-700 owners. Harvey says that it uses Hepa filters but there is no mention of testing and or certification. Oneida clearly states their Hepa filters are genuine GE filters that...

That's pretty cool Steven. Thanks, I'll try to find one.

In the meantime, I'm making a shave horse and needed to bore some 3/4" holes. I'm too lazy to dig out my hammer drill so I gave my brace...

Thanks Scott. I thought the 3 jaw chuck would work for hex shank bits. The description on Lee Valley was pretty clear

"The standard three-jaw chuck model accepts round shanks from 7/64" to 19/32"...

Hello and thanks for any input.

I bought a 3 jaw bit brace last year from Lee Valley https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/drills/32300-two-and-three-jaw-chuck-braces
and had a...

The other option I've been mulling around in my head for my own small shop is Oneida's Supercell. Biggest drawback that I can see is the noise level. Maybe an enclosure with sound dampening foam...

I've got a Rockler 1250 with cannister filter and super dust deputy. It works well but takes up almost 2'X3' in my 12'X19' shop. I'm going to be looking for another solution later this year.
The...

Nice job! That certainly brings back childhood memories of sore fingers at my grandparents house in boxing day :)

I hope to make one for my kids one of these years. Maybe when they are a bit...

Thanks Rich for the link.

Looks like an oil based top coat is the way to go. I'll know for next time.

Serves me right for not RTFM :)

Thanks Jacques, I cannot wait for this wave to be over and have people over.

So I've got a resaw king blade on order but have no idea when it will arrive. Laguna said to order through any of their...

Looks awesome, congrats on the new saw!

Happy Holidays and thank you all for the helpful replies. It's been a while since I wrote back and thought I'd give an update since I have a few quiet minutes.

Thanks for all the replies. Just as a follow up I found a can of shellac (the last one) at my local Canadian Tire. After 2 coats of that I still saw a bit of red dye bleeding through. I decided...

I couldn't check out fast enough! Half my cart was sold out before I could pay.
Glad your sale went so smoothly. I even bought a shooting board to go with my unexpected shooting plane.

Thanks John
I'm surprised as well. I'm going to let it rest for a few days and then try again. It'll give me a few days to get some shellac flakes from Lee Valley. None of the big box stores near me...

Hello,

I was wondering what I can do about water based dyes bleeding through my topcoat. Last year I made a coffee table and used a water based dye (transfast) to match our dinning set. I then...

The upcoming Ford F 150 lightning will be able to be used as a house battery if you get the...

We bought our first EV in 2018. It was the only bright green Chevy Bolt in the area for quite some time. Super easy to find in a parking lot full of grey and black cars.

We love our EV. I know...

Great replies everyone, I appreciate the discussion. Seeing as I am in a single car garage I can't see myself becoming a 2 bandsaw kind of woodworker. I've been getting by with a doing curves using...

Just another quick update. I still don't have a bandsaw BUT someone from Felder got in touch with me and now I've added the Felder FB 510 to my list, which I've also narrowed considerably.

Right...
