Lee Valley 3/4'' Dog Hole Bushings
These 3/4'' hardened steel bushings help you make an accurate dog-hole drilling guide using any 1 1/2'' thick board.
Knurling on the bushing provides a mechanical lock when installed in an appropriately sized hole (1'' for the 3/4'' bushing), and a projecting rim ensures that it rests perpendicular to the jig's surface.
Made in Canada.
Lee Valley Cast Round Spokeshave
Founded in 1825, Edward Preston & Sons, Ltd. produced some of the finest tools of the Victorian age. Lee Valley have created a close replica of their model 1374 round-bottomed spokeshave, a tool as elegant as it is effective.
Smaller than typical spokeshaves at 6¾" long overall, it is designed for fine smoothing and shaping, with a tight mouth opening that helps reduce tear-out,...
Lee Valley Vice Rack Stop
This simple device from Lee Valley is designed to help prevent racking when clamping work at one side of a vice. Simply stack up as many of the 0.10" thick shims as you need to match the approximate thickness of your work, up to a total of 4", and insert it into the vice opposite the work being clamped.
For thicker work, you can add a piece of scrap wood to occupy the bulk of the space, and then...
Lee Valley Winding Sticks
Winding sticks are not new; woodworkers have been making them for years from scrap wood and using them to check the flatness of material. Placed at opposite ends of a board, they accentuate any twist (wind), making it easier to identify and correct. With the sticks in place, sight across their top edges. If the edges are parallel, the board is not twisted. Reposition and repeat to check the entire...

For beginners,...

Lie-Nielsen No. 85 Scraper Plane
Scraping Planes are used for finishing woods that do not yield well to the hand plane. A scraping plane is more comfortable to use than a hand scraper, and a plane body helps you keep the surface you are scraping flat.
They can be tricky to master, however. To make it easier, Lie-Nielsen do not recommend using a burr, at least until you’ve learned how to use the tool. These tools will cut...

Mouldings in Practice
By Matthew Sheldon Bickford
Words from Chris Schwarz of Lost Art Press
After years of publishing woodworking information, you often hear that there is nothing new in the craft. Everything has been done before, written before and fully figured out.
I used to believe that was true, until I read the manuscript that was to become “Mouldings in Practice” by Matthew Sheldon Bickford....

Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisels
Until recently we stocked the Narex 8116 range of bevel edge chisels which were popular amongst students and people starting out in woodworking. Most importantly the steel in the 8116 range was very good but in our opinion the balance and feel would sometimes let them down. I'm glad to say that this new premium range 8150 from Narex is a massive improvement upon the old chisels. Yes they are not...
