After two weeks filled with incoming deliveries from Veritas, Narex, Lie-Nielsen, Lost Art Press and JessEm, the shop is bursting with products that are just waiting to be picked up by eager visitors. We have our traditional Saturday-opening shop open this Saturday (28/10) between 10-14. Come and look at our new project in the shop, building a combined table saw and router from a Sjöbergs bench. Parts of a Jet saw, the Incra LS system for saw and router, plus a JessEm router lift and motor. There are a few different thoughts on how to put it together in a smart and good-looking way.
We would like those of you who come by on these Saturdays to get a little extra to experience, beyond just meeting us at Rubank Verktygs, so we try to have an external exhibitor who shows something a bit special. We haven't quite got going with this again after the pandemic, but this Saturday there is a chance to watch or ask about how to make different dovetails. Other interesting questions always come up between visitors, so there is every opportunity to soak up knowledge.
Among the new products that have come recently, I am myself very interested in the motor that JessEm has developed. We will make sure you can test-run it. Here is a little film about it. Watch the video on YouTube Lost Art Press has updated its book, The Stick Chair Book, and since we have a few left of the older version, we are now running a campaign on them. It applies until stock runs out. The Stick Chair Book
Narex has made a new model of its Richter chisels. They have a longer handle and come in one more size.
From Crucible Tools comes a new dovetail guide with 1:4 and 90 degrees. A perfect companion to their other dovetail guide with 1:6 and 1:8. This newsletter has now existed for 4 years. I don't really know how many there have been, but it is a large number in any case.. It feels like they are relatively popular; we now have an open rate of about 70%, whereas similar mailings normally sit at perhaps 15%, so we really have to thank you who each time at least take the time to open the email and hopefully read it with pleasure and interest. Thank you!
