L N 4 1/2 Bronze

[Max Power]

Who else bought one of the Lie Nielsen 25th anniversary bronze smoothers and what did you think of it ? Ive noticed they are starting to show up on ebay USA for very high markups.

 

[Mirboo]

They're very nice.



Mine won't be coming up on eBay any time soon.

 

[Max Power]

No chance of mine ever being sold either Ian as it was a christmas present.
I was surprised by the number that went to Australia, supposedly fifty with four hundred being sold in North America, leaving only fifty for the rest of the world. To say I was highly delighted with mine would be a gross understatement

 

[Mirboo]

Mine is one of the 400 allotted to North America. It was purchased directly from Lie-Nielsen in the USA because it worked out cheaper, even after the cost of shipping was added.

Mine was a Christmas present from my wife.

I want one and there is a chance I'll get one......

It is a little known fact that TLN actually created this plane, in association with Lynndy, my wife, for our 25th wedding anniversary. Yes, really.

Derek,
What to say - you trumped anything we have to offer!

I suppose I could argue that Sweetheart irons were for my 21st - or maybe 1st birthday? But then again, maybe not.

In any event congratulations!

Sadly I was too late to get one from L-N US......
Thankfully I was able to get one from L-N Australia!!! Many thanks to Derek for not buying one in Oz as that let me slip in the door..... :lol: :roll:
Due to problems sourcing a decent supply of Cocobolo the Oz earmarked Anniversary planes have been held up. I am told that the supply problem is solved and that hopefully they should be arriving late April in Oz.
Bring it on home, Mr Postman
Cheers
Philly
Who does hate to be left out

Tony,

I think you must be a victim of identify fraud. I found these two posts by "you" and one of them must be an imposter. I'll let the other forum members decide which is really you.

I want one and there is a chance I'll get one......

and on the same day onanother boardon this very forum.

Personally , I just want to cut wood and tools do not interest me per se (only their use)

:wink:

Oh, Phil, no. Didn't they tell you? They're specially designed to work upside down - you'll only be able to plane ceilings and the underside of boards in this hemisphere. #-o

Cheers, Alf

Totally unmoved by said plane, except maybe wishing she'd bought one to sell and make an insanely large and quick profit...

Alf, that's only partially correct - the plane is held the right way up, but it has now been configured to a BU set up.

Ooo, well he might just, ah, "scrape" by with that then... <groan>

Worrying about drifting into technical punning. A sure sign of a diseased mind I fear...

True, both were posted by me and I fully intend to use the LN bronze 4.5 to smooth wood :wink: :lol:

5 minutes after it arrives the box will be in the bin and the plane willl be making shavings

Keep the box -- it'll be worth at least £20 on eBay. :roll: :lol:

FWIW, I love my 4.5 Anniversary !
