[edit] Lee Valley Tools

• Keep. LVT is one of the very few companies doing R&D and developing significant innovations in woodworking hand tools. As author of the original article, (and participant in the Woodworking Wikiproject), I have to state that I have no relation to the company except as a customer and drooler over their catalogue. A google search yields 54,900 hits on mainly woodworking pages. Luigizanasi 20:59, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I see. I saw "fine selection" and instinctively dubbed it as an advertisement. I was doing RC patrol, and so didn't bother looking further than that, and it sounds as though I was incorrect in my judgement. --Blackcap | talk 22:00, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I've certainly heard of them many times and the article certainly doesn't read like it is advertising. - SimonP 21:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Hardly storecruft. Notable business with central role in a particular industry. -The Tom 21:14, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Lee Valley is one of few innovators of woodworking tools around. They have some novel designs, particularly in hand planes, which makes them noteworthy. In fact, I think the article needs to be expanded to discuss some of the new concepts they have introduced. Leonard Lee is also a published authority on tool sharpening.

• Keep. Even I've heard of them, and I'm like the least tool-handy person on the planet. Bearcat 17:17, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Does not read like an ad, and every Canadian DIYer knows them. Owen× ☎ 19:58, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Their gardening products are also notable, as my mother would certainly attest. :) Radagast 23:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
