Just a heads up to those that have this plane to watch out for the spur adjustment screws (the ones that push the blades out horizontally) falling out. I was planing away when I noticed one sitting...

Mine arrived yesterday. It is one fancy plane!!! The box is cool too. Very clever. I only got to play with it a short time last night but I really like the "dimple" on the fence where my off hand...

yup! I got to have one (or 2) :O

Looking good!

hmmmm.... me thinks I see a combo/large plow snuck in those photos. Nice.

NICE!!! Will the LV large plow pre-order be available on their website any time soon?

could the plate be heating up and distorting? Maybe not tensioned right?

My plane returned home yesterday with the beading modification and improved depth stop! I made a few 1/4" beads and it worked perfectly. I will try out the 1/8" bead tonight. Very cool to get extra...

That is great Glen. Mine arrived yesterday as well. Looks like they may be over the hump. I hope they have smooth sailing from here.

Thanks Rob. Understood.

Thanks for the info Augusto. I sent mine in on March 5th and am eagerly waiting its return. I was wondering about how long it would take (I assume return mail is the longest leg of the trip).

Yeah, me too! I am also very disturbed that people ordering the mag today will probably get it before some of the people who pre-ordered it 2 months ago (and were charged). That isn't right. His blog...

I'm in the same boat. Paid for it in December, still have not received it :(

My climate isn't too bad either (Dallas Texas). The tools that sit around collecting dust give me the most rust issues. Even tools in cabinets and tool chests because I am opening and closing the...

I bought the bronze for the rust prevention but I have wished for years I bought the iron. I am not a fan of heavy planes and thinking more about it, the 4 is my most used plane, so it is easier to...

Thanks Rob. I will get the update then.

Hmmm... hollow/round, moulding profiles, looking forward to seeing LV's version of a combination plane.

Rob,

Will the new combination plane have the same beading capability? Debating if I should get my small plough plane updated or if the new combination plane will do the same thing, I may just get...

Very nice Kees! And you made the hardware! wow.

I wonder how the new LV bevel down planes are selling? I haven't heard anything about them after the initial buzz...

What size tenon saw and for what kind of cuts? I prefer rip teeth for majority of my saws. I think they are easier to maintain and smaller teeth rip saws cross cut just fine. I use knife lines and...

If you are talking about the metal bench dog, yes it is remove able.

The 16" tenon saw is big for the type of work I do. Depending on your work, it may be a one hit wonder for your workbench and then hardly used again. My 2 favorite saws are a 12" Bad Axe and a 14"...

Heck yeah. I like short handsaws as well and prefer using them at the bench (not saw bench). A bit harder to find but they are out there.

Tools for working wood makes a great carcass saw and can be had in xcut or rip.

I don't think it is long for a dovetail saw. Their are no hard rules set in stone. I actually prefer a 12" backsaw for most of my dovetailing. Use it as is and figure out if you like it or not before...

hahahaa... I going to buy some stock in spyderco! I have a feeling their sales are about to double.
