Golly, I love Lee Valley. At the Woodworks show in Ft Washington PA a few weeks ago, I ordered the Medium Shoulder Plane from them...due to heavy order volume, the delivery would be delayed about 3-4 weeks, but shipping was free. Today, the plane arrived...on Thanksgiving...via FedEX Ground Home Delivery. Whoo Hoo!! Can't complain about that! Time to get to know a new and useful tool...and it looks and feels great right out of the box.
