WHOO HOO! Look what arrived today!!

A spiffy (almost) new LN 4 1/2 and a bronze LN 140 courtesy of Alan Cohen's recent sale. These bad boys look pretty much brand spanking new. Besides being in damn near new condition, they came complete with their original paperwork and boxes. For operational purposes, these don't matter much. But it just goes to show you how "complete" these are.

I'm pretty excited about these two planes. For a long time I'd been looking on Ebay for a Bedrock #604 1/2 or a Stanley #140 but I could never find either for less than a brand new LN, or in good enough condition to warrant the expense. These two were also a present to myself to celebrate the new job I started today. But I pretty much exhausted the "tool fund" (generated by recent tool sales) with these guys. I might have enough left for one more purchase.

See ya around,

Dominic

Thanks! And congrats on the pending arrival of you No2.

If the planes I purchased from Alan are any indication, I think it's safe to say that you'll be very happy with the condition of you LN No2! The guy knows how to take care of his stuff! :>)

See ya around,

Dominic

>Congrats Domenic.

Those are great planes and have several improvements over the older Bedrock 604 1/2's (thicker castings, better blades, etc)

You won't regret having them in your arsenal.
