Well I did mention to my wife that the Lee Valey store was close and your forum was not. I will also mention to you it is very cold here and my wood shop is unheated! That is why I am finishing handles in the middle of Jan.
Lee Valey send their catalog out seasonally and it is great , I think WOW I would like that, and I sometimes even go down to the store to look at the stuff. In the end I think that I have something less flash to do the job, or can get buy without it, and do not cough up the cash. So other than being able to go to look at the store as a perk, or maybe that is just a curse, I think I end up owing the same amount of their stuff as you, that is very little. I hope this makes you feel we are still on much the same level, other than you having more knowledge in finishing than me. So next time I go I will do a group look for all of you!
Cheers Ron near Lee Valley
