This is a good suggestion. Solar-Lux is not cheap. miw

Behlen has Sea Blue Solar-Lux, as well. Love this stuff with it's five minute dry time. miw

I had the system and got rid of it. I did not find it effective for straight edge tools. The chisel channel adjustment was questionable, I was always frustrated with dull sand paper, and the hassle to clean and replace the disk was--well, a hassle. ;-) In my opinion you are better off with waterstones. miw

I teach Basic Table Saw classes and I always demonstrate the Grrripper. At first we criticized them for the cost, Then we saw the real value. In my opinion, these are a must have. miw

Check out the No. 62 from Wood River. I use an original 62 for most of my shooting. This plane, with it's bevel up configuration and beefy iron, will prove both a versatile and effective all around use and shooting plane. miw

All sharpening systems should include a grinder. No faster way to establish a primary bevel or repair a damaged edge. miw

Check out the Wood River Block Planes. They come with a much thicker iron than either new or vintage Stanleys and Woodcraft has them on sale all time. miw

Check out the Rikon models. Woodcraft has them on sale with some frequency. I use a 6x48 with 10" disc daily. miw

Shouldn't this be a poll? I do NOT agree. miw

You can do good work with either K4 or K5. The only criticism I have heard is that the new self adjusting mechanism on the K5 looks cheap and might not hold up. I myself have had the K4 for years and included pocket hole joinery in more projects than I can remember. miw

I use the Mission Cherry Gel Stain now owned by General Finishes, I believe. http://www.rockler.com/general-finishes-mission-stain-cherry miw

Opinions on a complete router package vs. shop built table, stand and fence
missioninwood replied to pagel's topic in Power Tools
Check out an article on FWW called the No Frills Router Table. There's no need to spend $1800. I tell folks when it comes to the router table to spend the money on the lift. Just my opinion. miw -
Good for you, Graham. I will come up with a real stumper to post for you. miw

What a great company that Veritas is. Now, if only I needed more hand tools... miw
