  3. Keeping dust collection flex hose from hanging up on router table top

    Hi all-

    I don't think I've seen this come up, which makes me think I'm doing something wrong. I have a 2.5" flex hose for dust collection on my router table fence The hose goes straight back and...
  4. Docking the blade tip on a LV Side Rabbet Plane

    Hi all-
    I just purchased the Lee Valley side rabbet plane. The directions explain about docking the point of the blades so they don't dig into the bottom of a dado or groove. I understand this -...

    Thanks Jim. Good point - most of the products I purchase now are water-based. I do still have some older varnish and aerosol lacquer, but as those are used up or age out, I'm replacing with less...
