A nice tease by Rob Lee . . . .

[Rob Lee]

Hi -

(snip) ...but I was wondering since I bought my made in England router plane from my local Lee Valley Store, if they had a trade in plan. :roll:

Yup - we'll trade cash for planes.... :lol: :lol: !

(snip)Speaking of which is there a plough plane in the future as well, interested people want to know....

Hard to say exactly which one is next - there are a few choices. A plough plane is on the list...

Cheers -

Rob

Now there's a list I'd like to see...

Think of a bunch of fridge magnets, where everyone who walks by the fridge changes the order..... :lol: :lol:

R&D meeting in 93 minutes... so the order will likely change again...

Cheers -

I hope a compass plane is on it!

Okay, so it's a fridge I'd like to see then... and possibly rearrange... :wink:

That's the list I see when I have nightmares..... :lol:

Damn! I'll just have to buy the Veritas shaves instead :wink:

I'm sure there were nightmares at first. Trying to gauge the market's need and ability to support two manufacturers with extensive lines of quality hand tools might have been a gamble at first.

But I'd bet money that as the selection of Veritas woodworking tools has grown, the base of loyal, repeat buyers has grown markedly.

Once you buy a tool that you like from a manufacturer, it's nice to be able to buy from them again when you have a need for another tool. Who doesn't want to assemble a "family" of planes from their favorite manufacturer?

The only hard choice for the woodworker now is choosing which company's family of planes you want to "adopt." Most of us don't have the funds to have both.

How often do people suggest #51/#52 a-likes?!

Oh, by the way, I know what you mean about priorities.

At one office I worked in we had the following priority levels:

* urgent
* vital
* first
* A
* 1
* top

That could be used as appropriate...

Rob let drop a fragment of the list elsewhere, fwiw.

Our rabbet solutions will have skewed blades, as well as the requisite nickers and fences....

An' that's all you're getting out of me on that topic, 'till we're a bit closer...

Possibly not a particularly surprising piece of information, but don't say you didn't know.

Cheers, Alf

Solutions meaning left & right, big & little??? :-k

Ah, now that is the question.

Do you think that Rob would take a picture of his refrigerator magnets for us?

The only thing that picture says to me is jigsaw!

[Rural Platypus]

Oh no. You want this http://www.holteyplanes.com/adam1.htm as a jigsaw puzzle.

Unless anyone has a better idea of course...

To hear is to obey*. (3.27 was my time btw)

Cheers, Alf

*Obviously if Mr Holtey is a reader and objects to it being made into a jigsaw I'll remove it at once.

Oh, I would think he would appreciate his planes being sawn to bits and reassembled...

btw, it takes the site 3.25 to solve it itself...my time was a bit slower.

Thanks for the link to the site Alf. It has now been added to my favourites. Good for an idle ten minutes when I am drinking my coffee!
