In case you don't want to bother calling or emailing Lee Valley to request a recent catalog, you can just buy one on eBay - bidding starts at only $4.99 with shipping. And it's not the heavy, inconvenient full woodworking catalog - this is the handy 40-page January edition. Check out
great deal on a Lee Valley catalog
Now... if it was autographed by Robin....
That would be a totally different story. Rob, are you listening? If someone was auctioning an autographed copy of this year's full woodworking catalog, with the drool-inducing handplane centerfold, that might generate some interest. Or if someone found a few old LV catalogs with the cover upside down or something like that, maybe they'd be worth a lot like baseball cards with mistakes. Interesting. Andy
I just left eBay looking for router bits. Page after page of Asian junk. $2.99 for bit, $20.99 for shipping. I think it will be a good while before I go back to eBay for anything. I guess some people get deals but I have never found one. A few years ago I needed a saw sharpening vice. Ordered from eBay. It arrived. A week later I was perusing a catalog (Lee Valley, I believe) and saw a new one for less than half what I paid. P. T. Barnum knew what he was talking about.

Craigslist is where you get the bargains. Of course half the stuff is stolen but hey a dead is a deal...:)
Well, if it was the exclusive "Turning Tools & Supplies" catalog I could recommend it. I wouldn't bid on it, though, 'cause I already got one.
Joe -
David F. Eisan frequents the wrec and quite often has Delta or Jesada quality bits and sets . I've bought several sets from him - top quality and fair price. No affiliation other than a satisfied customer.

Psst! Wanna sell it on E-Bay?
