>Just finished reading the chat log,and I must say that I bet Ol' Tom was some wore out when it was over. Wow! Lot's of ground covered!

I'll bet this morning when he got to the shop he called an employee meeting and said "All right troops, the Galoots are out there clambering for more tools NOW, so let's roll up our sleeves and get to it, and you design folks, sharpened your pencils, put a freah sheet on your drafting tables and start drawing, we've got LOTS of work to do!"

I'll have to re-read the log again or four as I did lose track of what was going on in a few of the "conversations", but I did understand "Drawkives", and maybe even axes, tho I'm thinking more along the lines of hatchets.

All I can say is I NEED TO MAKE MORE $$$$$$$$$.ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH! ;~)

I haven't even bought a LN chisel yet, gads, I'm so behind! :~(

Even tho I wasn't able to participate in the chat, I'd like to Thank Tom for taking the time to do a Chat with us.

Planes like the ibex but with a more narrow body would break out my wallet.

White Bronze LN 4 1/2 :-)

Dave Thompson - Champaign IL

>Ellis, thanks for posting the log. I wanted to make it to that chat, but the time didn't work out. Tom's meer mentioning of a white bronze LN 4 1/2 for a 25th aniversary next year has already got me salivating, despite the fact I already own an iron LN 4 1/2.

>I use the modelmaker's plane to profile braces, etc., but I'd love to see some smaller tools for retroactive brace reduction. Can't see a purfling cutter as particularly useful after using the Williams jig, although I use a gramil for touching up the back of the upper bout channels.

>Now, I certainly don't wanna start any wars, or tell Tom how to run his business, but I think that it would be great if for their 25th they introduced a never before made by them tool. Shootboard maybe? no, that would be way out of most folks $$$ range I think, but than again it would make it a super collectable for our decendants eh?

So, what say we really put our heads into it and think up as really cool tool for Tom to Re-introduce for his 25th, that would be fairly affordable for a large reange of folks shall we. coarse, this idea shoots down my thoughts about a drawknife, but that's alright as it's not about me, it's about us as a group, and helping Tom to have a Grand 25th Anniversary.

I can't beleive it, 25 YEARS already. I think I feel old now. :~(

>Todd,

Of couse, Tom mentioned that the chamfer plane was (perhaps) coming for the 25th anniversary as well. That is as sexy as a chute-board in my estimation. And it's enough to condemn my children to a couple months of lentil stew for the priviledge of owning that plane. I think that plane is enough for 25. My two growing girls would get sick of lentil stew after two (two!) years.

>Ahhhhhhhh yes, I guess that is right he did mention the champher plane didn't he. Yes, I think that would do. I just can't see rehashing an exsisting tool, when a new tool would kill two birds with one stone.

Why do I get the feeling that Dave is giving me the stink eye about now? ;~)

>My vote would be for a white bronze LN 4 1/2 I would like the extra weight and beautiful color and shine of white bronze. I use to lust for a Stanley 4 1/2H until I saw the going price.

...and might as well throw in a variable pitch frog while were at it... Something akin to either that $1500 bridge city variable pitch, or that non-produced patented one that showed up here and on e-bay a few months back.

I already have a Stanley 72... and while I shouldn't say it on this forum, it frankly has a tough time competing with the table saw set at a 45 bevel, or a spoke shave if I want to neander it. ;-)

enjoy,

Dave

I need that recipe ;)

>If we come up with an idea now, by the time Thomas gets it designed and perfected, and into production, not only will it be well past the L-N 25th aniversary, it will probably be after you've lost all your hair. I've been waiting for many, many years for the promised #72 1/2. That's right, 1/2 (unless plans have changed, and it should accept the blades from the L-N #66.

You must have missed some important things Tom discussed in the chat, including the soon-to-be-introduced travisher shave, to which no one will be able to assign a Stanley #, since it is a new design. If you want to take a peek at it, it's shown on the new Brian Boggs Spokeshave DVD. Also, Tom mentioned two more versions of the 100 1/2, with two different radii. With these new tools coming out next year, no matter what shape your @$$, you should be able to shape yourself a comfortable seat, and then set yourself down and spend more quality time on the WC Hand Tool forum, leaving less time for woodworking, or digging up old bones, or mowing centipede twice a week eleven months out of the year.

>Dan,

Ask my kids for the recipe. They know it *all* too well.

The new Lie-Nielsen catalog showed up this week, a harbinger of lentils in my house.

At the snap sound of my finger you will awake.

Dan Clermont in Burnaby

>HHHMMMM, my brother farms lentils. Which reminds me the time my wife asked him if she could have some lentils to cook up straight from the bin. He looked at her and kindly explained she was more then welcome to them but would have to pick out the cricket and grasshopper parts. Nuff said!!! We eat ours out of a can.

Cheers

>You think there aren't any cricket or grasshopper parts in the can? Not to mention mouse ears, noses and tails, marijuana and loco weed and seeds, magic mushroom spores, slow cats (he said with an evil laugh), buzzard droppings, several hundred species of spiders, and other herbs, sources of protein, and things that go bump in the night. In the can, at least they're well cooked, and there are supposed to be limits to the quantities allowed, but your friendly local USDA inspector isn't going to pick out the yucky bits for you.

No sympathy for the queasy!

Now the 51/52 plane/chute board

>"Now the 51/52 plane/chute board--that's the cat's whiskers"

I could really go for that!

I learned a long time ago....

Dan Donaldson

>If you find something that you really like (especially if canned, or not ever going to be made by you) then NEVER ask what is in it. Just eat and enjoy. If you ask, you might not like the answer and then would be denying yourself all of the pleasure of eating it for the rest of your life.;-)

Plus...

Ted Owen, Pittsburgh

>the limited number made for a special anniversary might match the target market's total demand, eliminating any debate over whether to put it into production someday.

Oh, who cares about considerations like that. I just think they're really cool--25th Anniversary cool.

Yep! Scrapple anyone...
