Lee Valley woodworking catalog - Crowbar NOT needed

[Jay Pique]

Just got the new LV catalog tonight. Payday's tomorrow. This looks like trouble.

Yeah, I think the LV catalog comes with its own hidden, greased, crowbar. Some mighty nice looking stuff in it.

Aside from the vast array of stuff for turning (which I don't do), this catalog was a little less laden with surprises then the last few. Probably a good thing. I won't be tugging at my wallet for more than the usual frequency.

This speaks directly to my theory of the "opposing thumb" with regard to wooddorkers:

"Any tool, process, purchase, or endeavor in the pursuit of woodworking that takes advantage of the evolutionary fact of the opposing thumb needs no further justification."

In your case, and since it is damn near impossible to get your wallet out of your pocket without a thumb, no further justification is necessary.

... and therein is the underlying, philosophical basis for Rob Lee's retirement plans. :)

Gee James - this is just the START of the season... :)

The main catalog(ue) actually has a record (for us) number of new items...

... so does Christmas ....

Missed on hardware though... the 720 new items this year (new catalog at the printer now....) is only the third highest (871 in Fall 00 is tops)...

We'll getcha eventually!

Cheers -

Yeah. Have you ever stopped to consider how many thousands of gallons of American, Canadian, etc. saliva is lost due to -your- catalogs, sir? It's shameful.

So did The Shrub. Our money isn't worth what it once was and our prices are closer to yours now. "O U C H !" say my crowbars.

Oh, and let's not forget the gardening catalog either.

Not only do you have *me*, you've got SWMBO, too ...

Thanks for reminding me. I was laying out some tenons yesterday thinking, "If only I had a reliable straight edge that'd go around a corner . . . "

Oh and that center finding rule would have been useful . . .

That thing should come in a plain brown wrapper. The man is evil. EVIL, I say!
