Jim Shaver - Oakville, Ontario

>Hi,

I made another commitment to my hand skill process this weekend. I sold my Leigh Jig ... yeah I know, it had been sitting in the corner of the shop for the last 4 years unused, only ever actually used 3 times...gathering dust....the good news is more tool money!

>Good move, Jim!

Sooo, will you pay a visit to Konrad soon, or put in a call to Kayoko? Gotta spend that money on tools, right? :)

>Lack of funds is the only thing that kept me from getting one of those. It's a good thing too. It was also my motivation for learning to make dovetails by hand,which began my slide down the hand tool slope.---Jack

>Congrats on your commitment. Maybe you'll inspire mke to do the same. I've had my Leigh for 8 years. It's still in the box, unopened. I can't bring myself to sell it. Go figure????

>I was convinced that the Leigh was the way to go by all the propaganda. I got one and was extremely dissapointed. I went round and round with the Leigh people and was never happy with the results. Too much money for the quality of the joint produced. The Leigh folks were great to deal with (as were the Lee Valley folks where it was purchased). Anyway, I'm still not producing quality hand cut dovetails, but maybe someday. I did get a Keller for quicky stuff.
