>Wow the LN dovetail saw and 4 1/2 with york pitch arrive safe and sound. This was my first order through the Fine Tool Journal. Great prices and service. (Just a customer).

LN products are a joy to hold and use. Yes I have alread used them both. I'll be attemping my first hand cut dovetails later this week. Hum, what LN tool do I need next? Unfortunatly, it will be awhile before my next splurge.

>That's a good question.

I mounted a piece of poplar as a base. First, I cut semi-circles to match the heel of the planes. I then mounted it to the wall. Then I covered that board with another board to form a small pocket for the heel. Then I made a retaining bracket at the toe for each plane. I used trial and error to ensure proper clearance for each plane. It works great.
