Perfect timing for free-ish* shipping. Today is my birthday and The Wife® gave me a Lee Valley gift card. I guess dropping hints the size of bricks helps.
No planes this time. Just a few doo-dads: a couple of cranked-neck chisels, Japanese files, flush-cut saw and plug cutters, etc. Now if only they'd had the spokeshave set in stock...
*Not really free for us Alaskans. But the shipping credit they give us brought it down to a very nice US$4.93

I'm waiting for those to come with V11 blades by default.

That, far and away, would my preference as well. I wonder if a plan is in the works.

While there are a few (okay, more than few) items lurking in my cart and hanging around on my wishlist, I don't think any of my money will be heading to Lee Valley this time around. I just got the last of my items from the last free shipping event (2 pair of NWS pliers that were backordered).
I'm stashing my pennies for the hoped for SawStop promotion this March or April. There's a 3hp PCS waiting to get into my shop. Next Free Shipping event will likely allow me to clear some of the stuff from my cart and wishlist though...

I also gave in (again!) and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of a spokeshave and router plane along with other assorted accessories. Had them shipped to my work so I don't have to explain to SWMBO...plus I wouldn't want something valuable left on my doorstep.

Maurice, you and everyone else who told me about this tool were right. What a great tool! For fun, I used it side by side with my #5 Frankenplane. The bevel up plane cuts smoother and feels more comfortable to me.
Now I need to make a hot dog handle too and compare this plane to my #606 to see which I prefer for shooting.

Derek Cohen has a great tutorial on making a hotdog.

Can we change the name of this thread? PLEASE???
Every time I check this forum...and someone has replied to this thread since the last time I was on this site...it pushes the thread towards the top of the page. And EVERY TIME I see it I think, "Oh wow! LV has free shipping!"
And then...every time...I am disappointed...
(I'm sorry. I just needed to cry on someone's shoulder for a minute. I'll be okay.)
I am never wrong.
Well...I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken.
