Jointer knives

You might try a sporting goods shop. KA-BAR supplies both soft and hard arkansas stones for knife sharpening. I was given a KA-BAR kit that contains both stones and honing oil. I don't know how old this kit is, but the instructions say 'Rev. 79'.

It's an Indian spammer trying to advertise his site. Many apparently think of Usenet like email as free advertising not realizing it gets the site blacklisted. Thane

Cleaning In-Wall Drier Vent????????HELP??????

Howdy, I would assume that the duct you want to clean is significantly larger than the shop vac hose. If so, you might find that it is not possible to generate sufficient air velocity to actually get built up lint out of the duct.

HTC Mobile Base 28 1/4" x 31 1/2"

I simply overbought for my shop and don't have room to keep things like this hanging around 'just in case'. I figured another woodworker might be able to use a decent stand in their shop as well so I'd offer it here before putting it up on EBay. If you have any interest, contact me.
