    Great. Just when I thought I had enough tools.

    Any possibility of toothed blade versions in the future Rob?

    Hi Danny -

    No plans for toothed PM-V11 at this time.... perhaps once production settles in...

    Cheers -

    I've been eyeballing this beauty on The Best Things for a while. I'm not going to cough up the $150 for it when I have a 2 good user 26s (really, 1 decent user, 1 very good user), but this t hing sure looks like a nice tool to use.

    I quite like Norris adjusters too, so I'll be just as happy with something similar that has one of those instead.
    Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...

    That Marples is SO much nicer looking than the Stanley transitionals!! When I started teaching shop in 1963,the shop across the hall had a whole toolroom full of Stanley transitionals,wooden spokeshaves,etc.. I had no idea at that time that they'd ever be worth anything. One day,those tools all were suddenly gone,and all new tools were in there. I had no idea they were slated for updating. Probably all the old tools went to the dump,too.

    Yeah, I keep looking at that plane at TBT as well - it's so purty . . . it'd be tempting to snag a frog off a bedrock and see if you could make one . . .
