New Mistery Veritas Stuff: Custom Bevel Down Planes

[J_SAMa]

I seem to be the last one to know about this...

Not much time left for guessing this but what do you think it is?

I hope it's moulding planes or carving tools.

Actually a pair of panel saws would complete their whole line of saws.

Or shall we have the MkIII honing jig? (hammer)

Edit: "starts with us and finishes with you", sounds like a kit of some sort don't you think?

Well it sort of is a "kit" in that you can customize it.

Looks like Veritas is trying to compete with Lie Nielsen's high-angle frog offerings, except they took it one step further

Something very expensive which nobody needs?

 

[J_SAMa]

To be fair most of their things are reasonably priced... In North America.
Their saws are still bargains even here in Europe.

What problems do you have in Nederland, buying direct from Lee Valley? In UK they seem to get taxed on everything, so that it's seldom worthwhile. Over here in New Zealand, so long as the value is not much more than $500 NZD, we don't even have to pay GST - which means decent savings can be had.

Cheers, Vann.

Cheers, Vann.

Import duties applicable for 150 eur or more, and shipping of about 20 eur so not worth it....

Or grass seed designed for bevel up.

 

[lanemaux]

All lawn mowers should be bevel up as grass grows vertically , hence you are working the "end grain ". I'm hoping for a new and improved box tool , maybe in stainless steel to go with the garden multi tool. Stylin in the yard dudes.

12 noon.

Ahh, but how do you know? Surely there are two times each day with equal claim to being 12pm. The first being one minute before 12.01pm; and the 2nd being one minute after 11.59pm :-? :-s

Cheers Vann.

Hi,
Well, seeing as it's still not announced... It's probably noon.
Or could it be 14/09 00:00?

 

[marcros]

it will be at 5pm uk time.

 

[MIGNAL]

Exciting stuff indeed. :roll:

I like to sharpen my grass with a hover, "lot-less-bover-wiv-a-hover" they say.
Maybe the mystery item under the blanket is...........(drum roll).................... a jig for the hover, :shock:
I could do with a nice jig to get it just right =D>
