What sense of humor? It is a real product,isn't it? I mean,it isn't April Fools day yet.
Well,I'm not in the tallow rubbing club.

Perfect for fryin' up a batch of vittles!!
One can never have too many planes and chisels... or so I'm learning!!
I must've missed that memo. Still use it on my wooden planes.
I think that's serious, and I've been looking for mutton for a while so I could render my own tallow. This is great, too bad I just put in an order for LV today at lunch.

Amazing how much you can get for an ounce of sheep fat!! I don't want my planes all greasy. Maybe I'm prejudiced. We were always poor when I was growing up. There was an abandoned sheep farm near us at one place. My step father would shoot one of the filthy,unshorn,extremely shaggy and uncared for sheep in the head with a .22 short. They were so easy to kill! Try that with a pig. They just keep on eating. (He did that as a kid when his folks told him to kill the pig. The pig didn't even stop eating.)
Then,he'd hang it (the sheep) upside down in the basement and gut it. The smell was TERRIBLE. Then,we ate mutton forever. I hated it,and will not eat it to this day(and tomorrow,too!)
I would prefer to find a vegan alternative.
..or paraffin.. Wait! That comes from dinosaurs! <g>

The only humor outside AFD I ever get out of LV is the box tool, funny but accurate description of a tool I would never expect to be able to buy from LV. I keep meaning to order one but forget it every time I order.

Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
Some hardware stores carry what is called a box hammer. A similar tool without the hatchet edge. I used to have two of them. One I used when I worked as a train tech for freeing train doors that were stuck in their tracks and wouldn't close. For a small pry bar they are great.The only humor outside AFD I ever get out of LV is the box tool, funny but accurate description of a tool I would never expect to be able to buy from LV.

The one I didn't lose still gets used all the time.
If you search > crate hammer < and select images you will see a lot of variations.
A very useful tool.
