Mike, every time I make a joke about the honing guide, I always think "I hope Mike Brady sees this". I remember putting a picture of some goofy thing I rigged up on woodnet, and back then you were talking about the honing guide that LN was coming out with and the need to do something until it was available
Yes - this one's tease worthy. A real paradigm shift in what we do, and how we do it. It is literally years of work.
At the same time - I don't want to overhype it. What we're doing (the announce) is for fun, ultimately; for our staff, our customers, and hopefully the hand woodworking industry in general.
Serious - but fun.
Would give more details - but have to go home and pack... gotta be up before 4:00am to get the airport!
Cheers -
Rob
I bet a large Plow plane is one of the new offerings.

How about a dial-a-plane? A hand plane that lets you dial-in the pitch of the blade angle. Or, perhaps dial-in how close the deflector is positioned to the edge of the blade.
I think they are referring to Chris Griggs, not Chris Schwarz....Jeez Rob, the visit wasn't THAT long ago :-)! I got in there to see the excitement before Megan did...PWW must have seen my post about the visit and then copied me. :-)
And no Malcolm, I will not spill the beans...You can make all the threats you want, but please recall I live in West Philly so obviously I'm not scared easily. I've actually known about this project for probably around 3 years...no I won't be spilling the beans with only a couple days left to go....

Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...

I'd imagine they're just fine, and at this point relaxing a little and running their business making what they make well. If I were TLN, that's probably what I'd do.
Okay,okay...I'll cave.
The big announce is that LV is merging with Woodpecker...they are re-releasing all the tools they already make, just in bright red instead of black!
Consider the beans spilled...hope you're all happy.

I happen to know it's a medium-large and a medium-small router plane.
I think it's probably a special trailer park boys Lee Valley themed chisel box. Complete with a pair of complimentary steel toed samsquanch slippers and a Jim Lahey combination flask and cap iron screwdriver.
