What was the most extravagant tool on sale at Yandles?

[Philly]

At last - I'm home! Apologies for the delay, I appreciate some members were rather excited at my little purchase...... :lol:
Lo and behold :lol:

Yes, of course it is the Lie-Nielsen "brush". Each bristle is hand lapped to +/- 1 thou, the brush if for clearing shavings from your finest planes, as well the odd chip on the shoulder :lol:
I bought it to see the reaction of the UK Workshop crowd at Yandles on Friday. Needless to say, it raised the roof.
Also in the picture you see Rob Woodbloke's marking gauge. A work of art, it has a smoooooth action and cuts perfectly. Many, many thanks, Rob!
It was great to meet up with you all (now let's see - Stuart, Paul Chapman, Alan Aldel, Martin the King, Nigel, Mike "L-N" Riley, Paul Chisel and Rob Woodbloke. See, I remember!!! :shock: ) as well as top Woody journo Andy King. You were all on top form Chaps! =D>
'Til the next one..

In a couple of weeks there'll be a Veritas equivalent with Norris style adjusting mechanism. Then you'll be sorry.

I hope you've checked every one of those bristles are within tolerance....

I.....I......I, just don't know what to say.

Phil... Hornbeam handle by the looks of it? Have you tried how it cuts? -ger-

 

[woodbloke]

Philly - the pic looks like it was taken using that magic box cube thingie I saw last time - very effective - Rob

I see that in addition to having 'rusty fingers' you also seem to have 'sticky fingers' :lol: I hope that the two aren't connected as I'm in enough trouble as it is lately.

Enjoy your new purchase and I look forward to reading the exclusive in depth review :wink:

And would it be rude to ask how much we are talking about for said exquisite item :?:

You would have thought that a maker of some nice looking planes might be capable of producing a matching dust brush suitably endorsed to match. :wink:

Can you imagine the carbon footprint that said brush left behind,

Made in the U. K. with pure Chinese Boar bristles

Bristles from China sent to the UK, brush then exported to US, then sent back to the UK again. All for 11 quid and half a ton of fuel emissions.

You should be ashamed
Of course if you went to Yandles by public transport I'd forgive you

Ha -- something is odd about the photo of the plane + brush in the upper left -- anyone else see what I see?
