  9. LV plane for less

    Danny, you can't go wrong with LV or buying it from them. I have never dealt with a more customer oriented company or honorable one either.

    Yes, pictures of use in action

    Craftstudio customer service, but it's good to know and I will look at buying from them in the future.

    Wow, thanks

    Justin, what a nice offer. I recently got quite a few saws (stealth gloat, 12 Disstons for $10) and I know some of those need some erious help AND would be worth the effort.

    I will go through...

    I think it has some value

    I think a bench like this does indeed have some value and usefulness. As your main bench, no way, but there are many times when one just needs a stable, non flexing structure to do some WW and the...

  23. Rabbet !!!

    and while you are at it, have them add on nickers. That gives you much more flexibility. They do not advertise it, but if you call in the order and ask them, they will add a nicker to eache side.

    An extra option
