Chestnut Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I've been following the stock on Lie Nielsen and Lee Valley (Veritas) hand planes and covid is really taking a toll on these companies. A combination of the increased demand and decreased supply (Lie Nielsen citing casting issues) makes getting hand tools incredibly difficult. It's too bad this would be a great opportunity to deliver a lot of planes due to the higher demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 That's a shame. I'm sure between that and Rockler/Woodcraft having their own lines things are tough. I'd like to start acquiring some hand tools but with no real bench or sharpening equipment it will become expensive real quick. Too many home reno projects at the moment so no rush. Maybe I can get something at their cyber monday sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is out of stock and on backorder. They seem like they trying to make them as fast as possible and are selling them as soon as they are made.

legenddc Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I know lumber prices are through the roof but I was shocked at the quality of the studs when I was just at Home Depot and Lowes. The majority were shaped like a bommerang and the amount of bark on them was crazy. I saw one where it was only straight cut on 3 sides, the fourth was the outside of a tree minus the bark. Glad I'm not building a house or an addition right now. Best of luck to those of you who are! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I’ve been keeping an eye on the construction lumber around me since we have several projects on the “sometime soon-ish” list and it’s been hit or miss. Sometimes it’s been like that, but today when I was in Lowe’s it was all pretty decent looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Can anyone recommend decent weather resistant storage cabinets? Similar (size/shape, not necessarily color or styling) to the pic below? Most options I can find are hideous or have very bad reviews. I don’t want diamond plate or loud colors. Plastic, composite, and metal are fine, as long as they won’t rust or break down outside with some exposure to rain and weather. They will be along the outside edge of one of the bays in our carport so they will receive some indirect weather. Just want to be able to store some kids toys/helmets/etc, a few gardening tools, and a few car/tractor related things in them for quick access without having to leave them in the open. I have very little desire to make them out of wood, I’d rather just buy something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 @JohnG, appearance is a very subjective thing, but Rubbermaid has some pretty durable stuff at reasonable cost. Not sure how much weight I'd trust in the hanging cabinets, but the kind of stuff you mentioned should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legenddc Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 3 hours ago, Mark J said: Anyone have any idea when used car prices might relax? Once new vehicles are back in stock. Which means the chip shortage has to be over. And the rental car shortage. And after everyone returns to the office or not. It's been a while since I've been in that industry but I'd guess early 2022 unless COVID hits another big source of the car supply chain. If you have an extra vehicle now is a good time to sell it. We've played with the idea of going down to one car but with 2 kids who will be in 2 different schools I don't think we can pull it off until prices normalize.
