This glue is brand spanking new in my area. Windsor Plywood just got their
very
first batch.

I need about 1/2+ gallon of this stuff for an outdoor project.
Gluing up cedar for some big garden planters.
I'm a little concerned as to what to do with the rest.
I would like to move it into shop sized 8-16 oz bottles.
If I do this what kind of shelf life will I get?
Buying quart sizes is quite a bit more money.

There is still a limit of a year on shelf life from what I've read. Putting
it in smaller bottles will help it from getting thick too soon though.

I bought a gallon of the Titebond III, and asked the same question, so
I called Titebond tech support and was told that it has approx 1yr
shelf life, and moving to smaller containers will NOT extend the life

You should be able to get smaller quantity from Woodcraft. Last week I bought
32
once for $12.99 in a local Woodcraft store.

Another example, everyone includes woodworking magazines swear that
Forrest saw
blades are the best and I do not disagree with it. The blade cost more
than
$100! Did you know you could get Oldham's 10x40 combination saw blades for
less
than $15?, a 10x50 combination for less than $11! INCLUDING shipping and
handling! Fine Woodworking magazine rate Oldham as very good and cheap.
Initially, I bought one for $51. I discovered Oldham is really very good.
I
bought two more at Ebay. Go to Ebay and type "10" carbides saw". Look for
Oldham
saw, but this honest gentleman selling it. (sorry, I did not post this
earlier
as I don't want everyone rushing to Ebay and jack the price up before I
get what
I need. note, the blades may look like being used it's NOT as I found out
later
after testing it).

It will be interesting to see how many more times the Cheapo blades will
have to be resharpened than the Forrest. This is part of what you are
paying for, a product that goes the distance, works as good in 5 years as it
did new. In the end, for those that to a lot of sawing I am sure the
Forrest will be cheaper.

An example... many people here swear Timberwolf blades are the best and will die
for it. Even the salesperson whom I trust in Woodcraft say so. Nevertheless, I
have bad experiences with it. It is really truly crappy. I did try Lee Valley's
"Viking" blade, I am surprise LV's 3/16" saw better (almost no saw's marked and
very smooth) compare with Timberwolf 1/2" blades which cost almost the same.

I believe if you look in the Lee Valley 2003/2004 catalog, page 98, you'll see:

"Viking Bandsaw Blades
These blades (previously identified as the Timberwolf brand)..."

I know that the "PS Wood" blades are relabeled TimberWolf. I suspect Lee Valley may
have a similar arrangement with the manufacturer.

For fifteen bucks or less and definately last more two years plus a FREE

Did you see the TWC's demonstration in woodworking shows? Go and see it
and
decide for yourself! if you can afford to spend more than me and getting
the
same results, that your RIGHT!

No offence please. :-)

Yes I have seen the show with the Oldham blade. It reminds me of the show
that Forrest puts on. And these shows are often done with a Craftsman TS.
IIRC the show blade is in the $50-$70 range and again IIRC it has been
brought up that the blade in the stores is NOT the same as the one sold at
the show although the name is the same or similar. If this blade makes you
happy, then that is all that counts.

I wonder what the hook is here though. A $15 blade that comes with a free
regind coupon? Typically a resharpen will cost more than what you paid for
the blade. Do you see a problem with this picture?

I susperct that SE is Sweeden. I infer this from the root domain name from Sweeden (i.e. www.server.se). Also makes some
sense with the product name (Viking).

I'll swear to it that Viking is better than Timberwolf and I'm sure many of you
will swear that Lee valley is honest and a reputable company to do business
with?

A'yup. That Oldham blade that FWW rated highly is NOT the one found at
Lowe's / Sears for $40. It's around $70 from TWC. Whether their
"equivalent" in performance or not - caveat user.

That said - I've cooled on Suffolk Saw blades, but still think they're good
stuff.
And I like my DeWalt "Series 60" 40T combo blade that's now down to $26,
in-store, at Tool King.
