Wow, new LN offerings

Yes, Very drool worthy...

>Yeah, and the set of two Boggs' dvds is a pretty good deal, one of which (chairmaker's tools) addresses a question here the other day. I just couldn't resist, not that it's likely I'll ever make hickory bark tape. We don't even have hickories around here, although pecans may do, but it's so esoteric and interesting.

>I like that palm plane - I wonder why no one else has done a low-angle bevel-up version of this plane.

As soon as the Publisher's Clearing House van shows up out front...

Vise Hardware *LINK*

Don Thompson - Cutler Ridge, Florida

>I would guess that the vise hardware is what they are using in the Lie-Nielsen workbenches that they sell. Just a bigger order of hardware from Germany.

Heh. Nor is it likely that I'll ever be a patternmaker or do a major piece of stair making or shop fitting, but I have bought (old) reference material on all three :-)

>Same stuff as the other vendors; however, the 1.25" diameter shoulder vise screw is getting tougher to find, so good to see they have a source.

Do what you love.

All I can say is ... FINALLY !!

John Snyder, Pocono's PA

>I've been waiting for years for LN to finally come out with a medium sized Record style shoulder plane. Not to be cynical, but I can't believe it took them that long - apparently I'm in the minority & like the medium size so much more than the oversize version they've been offering for years. Personally, I never liked my original Record 073 very much - I've got big paws & couldn't ever get comfortable with it. Anyways, I guess its time to get in line - shipping is 4-8 weeks. Nice job LN - it'll be worth the wait !!

By "same" Do you mean identical (as opposed to similar) ?

>I spent some time looking at the bench at the Baltimore and Chantilly shows, and hit the Springfield WC store on the way home. Looked to me as though the high-end German hardware at WC was identical to the stuff used on the LN bench. The economy bench hardware at WC appears to be Chinese.

Thanks - that's what I thought you meant, but I wanted to be sure.

>Yes, its a pity they let LV beat them to it. Still should be a very good plane and well worth the wait.
