Just received my new "bleemished" LV shoulder plane...

...and I'm darned if I can find the flaw. Has me wondering if this is just a sneaky way for Rob to play Santa! haven't made any shavings yet, but I've enjoyed holding it and playing with the blade adjustment.

You know that their brown VOC packing paper is made from recycled opium pipes, don't you?

[Jerome Hanby]

I didn't know that...but I do know what I'll be doing tonight <g>

Remember when everything was high enough quality that you couldn't find the defect in factory seconds?

Now I'm lucky if I can find a usable factory first...............Rod.

Factory seconds (at least the LV flavor) are what we're talking about here. I did find the defect with my plane...he's typing this post at the moment <g>.

I just received my LV "mfg second" shoulder plane, too. THE ONLY blemish I can find anywhere is a mushy-looking cast "D" in "CANADA" on the black lever cap. Otherwise? Perfect.

Count me in also. I even put my glasses on and still found no defect on my new plane. Thumbs up again for Lee Valley.
