Dale,
I make my living working with wood, and Lee Valley's catalog sits on the top of my catalog pile...................it's the best of the best. Not the least expensive, but simply the best. I can relate to the "drooling" aspect. I do it every month. And the line of tools they have designed and built themselves are a "must have" for me. I buy every one of them I can afford. They are great people to deal with also.
