Nice to have friends in the know.

My attempts to obtain a GR 200 are still ongoing, when I found out that Northwood was the supplier I was already to do a bike run and buy 2x of them.

However the Floods apparently wiped out the business and they closed down.

The following email is from the Northwood Ownwer.

All good things come to an end . . .

It is with much sadness and regret I send this message to all current Northwood Newsletter subscribers.

After the recent floods I was forced to move premises, and try to rebuild the wreck that resulted from the January disaster that hit much of Queensland.

In the fullness of time, I realised the job was massive and to be honest I just do not have the zest or desire to start all over again.

The woodworking business has been purchased by Chris Hudson who I believe is changing the web site to a totally different operation. He can be contacted at sales@northwoodtools.com.au or 0427 800 464 in the meantime.

Please note I have no involvement in the woodworking business from 1st may 2011.

To you all a hearty thankyou and goodbye.

At 7:15am on June 14, 2011, steve kidd said…: hi jay, hope all is well. i feel the need to vent. there are two members on this site, with no pics of there work, but they comment all the time. they may be awoesome craftsmen but show your work, if you can comment all the time then learn and take the time to post your work. im sure you can figure out the two that im commenting about. just pisses me off to see thier posts and dont have evidence of their work. i know some dont know how to post pics but i think they are chicken shit members to comment and not post pics. please set me straight on my opinions, i may be right or wrong, just need some input from a trusted friend and craftman to help me see the big picture. thanks, take care, talk to you later.

At 1:05am on May 18, 2011, Gary roofner said…: I was waiting for your reply as to your fellings on the mortising jig. I did however buy a self centering dowel jig that works well with my Incra T square for layout.

At 10:27pm on May 15, 2011, Gary roofner said…: Good news on gripper. I changed my mind on the mortiser went with a dowel jig from amazon self centering. I missed the rockler sale on gripper from rockler had a 20% off and $10 off would have been $61 with shipping and taxes.

At 9:40pm on May 14, 2011, Gary roofner said…: Did you get a gripper?

Also did they get any of the zip mortisers?

At 8:31pm on May 4, 2011, William Burton said…: Hi, Jay,

Thanks for the link you sent to the Stanton Furniture website - wow, they have a ton of stuff, and it looks great - that's a fantastic inspiration for future projects.

At 10:35pm on April 12, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: You are most welcome Mike. I think you have a nice shop addition. What makes a nice table for these and some times are pretty much for the hauling is from doors shops. Find a lumberyard or place that deals with house doors and solid core doors especially the exterior doors and grab one of the toss out and or a cut outs for window glass. Thes are very solid and stable making an excellent table as they are flat and smooth. You can make a cut off the back making a two piece of which you can use a piece of 3/4 inch hardwood as a fence.

At 10:26pm on April 12, 2011, Mike Kahle said…: Thanks Jay. I just put a new plug cord on it and replaced the connections at the switch since they showed their age. I am actively searching for a table design, and will build a new cabinet for it this week or so.

At 10:24pm on April 12, 2011, Michael Campbell said…: Jay, Thanks for the idea with the CD, I used it on my last customer and they loved it. It was mainly just pictures of their project. I need to learn a little more on the use and tools of the computer to make a good CD to get my name on it. But they loved it and said they were looking forward to showing it off. Thanks again Jay. Michael

At 9:43am on April 12, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: Good morning Ray: the trojan you found is slisted by Mircosoft to be a serious threat and it is in the system 32 files and interfers with your browser and downloads as well as does it's own abritary files. It is also known as the trojan zefarch named by symantec. In order to remove it you MUST turn off your system restore files and delete thoes files and remove it from the operating system. If you don't it will return to you computer. In order to determine where it came you have to load some software in to your computer that tells you what the originating ip address was that sent it. That is what I did and is why i know where my crapo came from ; The other person whom had computer prop[blems worse than I did was a mutual friend of both you and I and his was much worse and he had hid fixed bya computer tec and was told that his came also from the same ip address. What I am going to do is set up my kreg jig community on an old crappy computer that i hardly use and use it just for kreg jig. That is the only real solution for me at this point. The other would be to of course dump the site. The web site address is:216.45.48.190 and 8.6.19.68 which is a ning server located in palo alto california. This is where i traced my crap to.

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
