Post: Re: R.I.P. Mr. Lee

I still remember thumbing through my fathers' Lee Valley catalogs as a young boy in the late eighties. I owe my love of woodworking to my carpenter father and those catalogs. Rest in peace Mr. Lee.

I gave my G3 to my father when I purchased a Talon. The G3 is good but the Talon is great. I also have some of those econo tools from Lee Valley and they are decent.

Cool idea. Steam Whistle is one of my favorites although it is tough to find here on the east coast.

Another vote for the Dewalt. I've had mine a few months now. The LED cut line shadow is fantastic.
