    Ammco 6" Metal shaper

    I know I've said this a few times now, but excellent job Tony. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I like the fitted covers. I've thought about that a few times for my shop too.

    New to me 6"Jointer

    Nice. Flat and square are the foundations of accuracy. Might go without saying, but if you don't have any, buy some push blocks. Jointers have the potential to be big finger eaters. I have a 6" delta, and it's one of my favourite woodworking tools because you can transform something so...

    Best Product to Use for Fillets and Curves in a Simple Aluminum Pattern

    Another vote for bondo. Easy to shape once cured, and touch enough to withstand the rigors of ramming up molds.

    Beaver wood bandsaw - $250 - Toronto, On

    That sold quick. I put it on the watch list, thinking that if it was still there in a couple weeks when I started trade school downtown I'd grab it on the way home one day. I don't use my Delta much anymore (or any of my woodworking machines), but in the next couple weeks, I'm going to push...

    Splined coupler

    Go to a junk yard and pull a universal and hub from a front wheel drive car. Should be enough meat in both to get where you're going. If you tell them what you're doing with it, you might just pay for the weight, and not for the "part". Depending on your yard of course......
