Here is a question for readers from the True North: Would any of you be so
kind (how's that for a polite Canadian) as to provide me with some contact
addresses or telephone numbers or URL's for Canadian woodworking
tools/supplies catalogues?
---------------------
-You can try:
http://www.leevalley.com/
Lee Valley Tools from Ottawa. They have stores in many other canadian
cities.
Their catalog is superb and their mail order service is very fast. All the
tools I have ordered there are first quality ones. -ToolTrend out of Toronto is the Canadian distributor for Jesada router
bits and blades. They also carry machinery and tools as well
woodworking accessories and supplies. You can order a catalogue from
the website at http://tooltrend.com/canada. The operation is similar to
that of Busy Beee noted in an earlier post. They claim the lowest
guaranteed prices in Canada. Busy Bee has a branch located in the Lower Mainland at 30 Braid Street,
New Westminster, B.C. Tel: (604)517-3922. They have a central toll
free number 1-800-461-2879 for catalogue orders. There is a large
catalogue available if you contact them for $5.00 with a rebate of that
amount on your first order. They do mail order. When in the Vancouver area you may also wish to check out KMS Tools, 110
Woolridge Street, Coquitlam and their tool clearance centre at 822
Brunette Avenue, Coquitlam, both of which is just down the way from the
Busy Bee storefront operation. KMS does not have a catalogue nor do
mail order but they do have lots of toys. Also check out the the Rosendahl's who do the PBS Router Workshop show
out of Manitoba (see http://www.routerworkshop.com/). They specialize
in router related goods and they have a catlogue available which can be
ordered through their sales company Oak Park Enterprises which has the
URL http://www.oak-park.com/oakpark/
