    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.
    You broke silence for THAT???? You should have kept quiet. Hahaha. (That was quite funny, by the way.)

    Whatever it is, I'll be in the classified section waiting to buy whatever you guys might have to sell to get it...

    Yeah, the last LV announcement that had such a build up by both the company and a lot of us on the forums ended up being the release of the DX/NX block planes. Nice tools but a bit disappointing to many after such a big lead up. It's all in fun though and this feels different, so I'm looking forward to Saturday noon.

    I'd get a couple, too, for sure! Especially if there was also a sam the caveman club-shaped mallet.

    I hope it's the Voubo bench!

    Oh, he didnt forget your visit ON PURPOSE, Chris. Its just that Megan's cuter than you are. So she's easier to remember.

    What happened to the side-clamp fixture for the MkII?.... Although you did say "within the year".

    LOML said she'd buy one as well (technically she rolled her eye's and said "only if you really wanted one dear") but I think that counts as three. Once you multiply that by the uncounted masses that's probably something like a million sales! I think we're onto something here.

    The double iron plane is now about 250 years old so it is time for something new: the triple iron plane! It has a chipbreaker on both sides of the blade.

    A triple iron plane would chatter like crazy, but I like the idea of something new! I think the idea of a dial in blade angle has some merit! Especially in a classic-modern look
