    Hi John,

    I'm a bit north of you, in Western Mass. Would it be possible for me to get my name on the wait list?

    Regards,

    Dwight

    Sure thing, Dwight. I think I'll end this round with you. That should take us through the next few months and then I'll have some fun with it again

    Well, I haven't heard from Bill. I'll give him until the end of the day, and then we'll move on. Going once....going twice....

    John, I just picked up a LV 4 1/2. It should be fun to compare them in a side x side comparison.

    I DEFINITELY want to hear the comparison. Be sure to write up what you find out.

    Will do, Chris. I'll try to go through a few species of wood for testing. Mahogany for sure, some oak, Southern Yellow Pine, and some maple, if I have any.

    Done. I have an end grain cutting board on the bench right now, so I'm looking forward to taking this plane for a spin. My plane collection consists exclusively of reburbished Stanley's, so I'm particularly interested in seeing how this compares.

    Glad it arrived safely. Have fun with it Joe, I know I did. I had never used any kind of BU plane before so I am really glad I had a chance to use it. Feels really different if you are used to BD planes, but it really does perform wonderfully. I still think I have a preference for BD planes in most cases (probably because thats what I'm used to) and I likely won't buy one of these for myself (although I have an LA jack on the way for shooting), but I must admit this thing just bulls through the wood like it isn't even there and once I got used to the different feel I really got why so many people love these planes.

    John, just stumbled across this thread and have to say you get my vote Creeker of the Year! Very cool. Wish I was south of the border as I would have loved to participate.
    Well done!

    Have to say that it was fun having this. Nathan, it was shipped this morning. You should have it early next week.
    As a relatively new handtool guy, this was the first "modern" premium plane I've ever had the opportunity to use. It helped me get a better sense of what to expect from my refurbished #4 Stanley, and it motivated me to finish honing the iron on the old #8 Stanley that I received as a Christmas gift. Thanks John!

    Hay guys.
    Have not been here for a while. Just this morning I was looking at my Luthier workbench (where I had broken it a few years ago)thinking I wish I had a good Smoothing plane to use to help fix this end grain. I come back here and I find this. So can I get on this good Karma list???
    Thanks RCT
