John Morris Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 WOW! Yesterday delivered to my door was the full book version of the Lee Valley Fine Woodworking Tools Catalog. Over 490 pages of great drooling reading and bedtime dreams. I love the front cover, they are all Router Planes, look at the fantastic craftsmanship in these hand made planes, do you see the frogs!

Popular Post Grandpadave52 Posted November 14, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 That's what so amazing about the woodworking community in general (1) easily pacified just looking at a new catalog (2) enjoy viewing and appreciating someone else's work as much as or more than your own (3) sharing work or tool collections not to boast or gloat but to inspire others to do likewise. OK John, I know you'll "spank me" for this, but maybe all of us work workers (and wanna be's like me) should band together and establish our own "political" party...if we could convert everyone to wood-working, tool collection and preservation and participating on this site, how great would our country be then?

Al B Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Sounds great, but in the real world there would be opponents who would probably start calling us a bunch of WOODIES. Stick486, HARO50 and Grandpadave52 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age, no matter what, SOMEONE is bound to be offended over SOMETHING small and insignificant that does not really mean anything to the rest of the free world.
