>I am so jealous! On February 8th Steve Knight announced on this forum that I had won my choice of several planes. I replied immediately that my choice was a Purple heart smoother with a 50 degree pitch.

I contacted him by email on March 10th and he stated that he was sorry but that he had failed to add my name to his data base and that he might have a smoother with a 50 degree pitch in another wood if I like. I sent him an alternate choice of IPE. I haven't heard anything further from him.

I'm contemplating a rounded bottom plane, as soon as the checkbook heals after tax time.

>the sad part is that I am changing my benchplanes. it's a bit of a secret for another week or so. I guess I have felt the affects of my sickness for the last few years with no new improvements. so its about time.

I really only started liking the 60 degree plane after I put in 3# of lead. this made the plane so much smoother and easier to move through the wood. I kind of fell on the idea wheh I had to sell my infill for a jointer.

my plane get to these cool get togethers and such that I need have been able to get too. whats wrong with this picture? do I work too much?? (G)
