Mr. Lee was in Saskatoon over the past couple of days, promoting his
new book "The Great Saskatchewan Fowl Super and Literary Contest - A
Saskatchewan Centenary Celebration in Ottawa" and signing autographs at
the Saskatoon LV store.

I brought my copy of "The Complete Guide To Sharpening" and Mr. Lee
graciously inscribed in it: "To Dave, for whom we built the Saskatoon
store".

It doesn't get much better than that at Lee Valley.


I was at the Denver woodworking show last Friday. I was admiring the
planes at the Lee Valley booth, and one of their young employees came by to
ask me if I needed help. I put my hands in front of me and did the bow
thing, as if I were worshipping at the Altar of Lee Valley. He broke out
laughing, then he grinned and said they actually get a fair amount of that.

I guess customer loyalty can be priceless.
