    Stringy, just go up to the navigation bar in your browser window & "copy" the desired link, then "paste" it into your post. It will look like this:
    http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...618#post512618

    I usually copy, then select text in my post such as the word link, then click on the Insert Link button (the globe with the chain links), paste in the desired link, then OK. This results in the word link in my post becoming a hyperlink.

    It would then appear in my post as this link.

    Bit less clumsy, I guess.


    HTH..............cheers..Sean

    Here are a couple for your perusal:

    Highland Hardware

    Woodpeckers for all things Incra

    Wilke Machinery for your big iron

    And this last The Tool Shed not because they sell online (they don't) but because they are local to me here in Greenville and a great resource--
    Cheers,

    Bob

    Yep

    Anywhere outside Australia that has a great site with quality carpentry hand tools to droooool over...Australia is a small market that appears to be effected by the odd over zealous trade rep..... I know this is exageration but all of a sudden the only combo square you'll be able to buy at all the harddwares will be the same brand and same model.....
    It just seems there is no quality choice anymore other than going offshore to where the market is big enough to sustain the cheap through away and the quality alternative

    Thanks for the links so far

    Cheers Utemad

    Another one from Canada:

    http://www.houseoftools.com

    They even sell a bunch of triton gear incase you want to purchase australian made gear from canada.

    They have a good price on the triton 3 1/4hp router - $270 cdn. Thats heaps less than I paid at magnetmart. Hmmm.
