    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Who knows... in the future the ones without the nickers may be at a premium.

    FYI - LN #60 LA Block Plane - nickers

    Yes, indeed, they will put nickers on the older model.

    $35 per nicker.

    I'll be a sonuvagun. Thanks, guys.

    Now I just gotta decide how many. Since I am right-handed, one on the left side makes sense, but I'm wondering if I would ever wish I had both done while it is up there?

    Thoughts/comments?

    They really increased the cost. Way back when I did it, they charged me $25 to do both sides. I thought that was very cheap but I was glad to get that price.

    Whether it was worth it or not - I don't use them. I don't use that plane very much either.

    Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

    Both. The plane cuts left and right so you can go with the grain. You will want to keep that ability.

    Mike - If you wanna go all stone-age, we could just swap, ya know?
