hi all ,

  that cap iron trick works with the stanley/baileys/bedrocks....i don't know if it works with LV planes....i probably shoulda thought of that before 

hey everyone ,  just a quick question about spokeshave blades .  is there a specific jig to use for that on my tormek ? if there is i don't have it , YET !   

hi guys ,  the cap iron itself is designed to remove the screw holding the chip breaker to the blade, no special screwdrivers needed    with that said, i do really like lee valley and have been ordering from them for many years ...... i just figured i would post this so you can save your money for other lee valley stuff 

hey there in the uk  

you should be able to find mineral oil in the grocery store.  its used on wooden cutting boards all the time to recondition them

just my two cents , but i dont think you can do any better than a tormek , i have been an owner of both systems and the tormek is a hands down better product !!!!  i haven't practiced alot yet but i get truely  scary results  every time, to the point if i slip and drop the tool .......... LET IT GO ! dont try to catch it !!! its easier to put a new edge on than to clean up the lost blood  

hey eric i am having the same problem ! my pal wasn't  to pleased with me, as it was a brand new set of chisels but i told him i would straighten em out as soon as i find out whats up with this . if you hear anything b-4 me  email me will ya ....  thanks grizzly
