   Transtint dyes are a product of Jeff Jewitt, at homesteadfinishing.com.  He is a pleasure to deal with.  Also, he carries good quality spray equip, which comes with a bit of advice.  His book is excellent.

   Jeff will not ship his products to Canada, you can try Woodessence in Saskatoon, This is another Jeff who gives good service - http://www.woodessence.com he carries the same stuff.

   let's see... advanced spray on eglinton ave in mississauga carries good spray equipment, including fuji spray[canadian made]. robert bury in brampton is an excellent source for all forms of sheet goods. rough lumber...i deal with knight lumber in guelph, i've heard oliver lumber is good but if you don't have an account they have a minimum purchase of [i think] 400$. and i agree, atlas rules.

   I've had no probelms buying small quantities of lumber from Oliver, as long as you go and pick it up. TJV is a good place for powertools and machines, they have great service.

   Thanks for the info, I haven't used Rober Bury but recall the name, now that you mention it.  I'll take a look at the spray supplier as well.

   Thanks again.

   Greg:

   If you want to venture a lttle further afield, there is a fabulous store just outside of Durham Ontario called Welbeck Sawmill.  They carry a lot of General and Delta machinery, but also carry Taiwanese.  They have quite a selection of power tools, good hand tools, and great conversation!  This place is out in the backwoods, but it is just amazing!

   I buy a lot of hardwood and good quality plywoods from Commonwealth Plywood in St. Jacobs.  They deliver right to my place about 200km away.

   For excellent qulity hardware, drawer slides, hinges, and so on, I deal with Kipco in Kitchener.  Can't beat the prices, and excellent service.

   Thanks everyone.  I've booked marked many of the sites and will likely look them up when the need arises.

   Seems like South West Ontario is the major market for woodworking.  I understand the Durham wood show is quite good, but have not made it there yet.

   Thanks again.
