>Any users of the Veritas bullnose out there? Do you like it?

I wish it had an optional longer nose piece for better registration on tenon cheeks. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It wouldn't take much -- maybe an inch of registration -- to make it much more usable.

Any chance Rob Lee might see demand to work one up?

>Hi Dave -

It'd have to be a different plane... the body and nose are ground together...

'Sides, the slate's full for awhile - the next 6-8 planes are set.

Cheers -

>Hey Dave--how's it going?

Well, the bullnose isn't really meant for tenons I suspect--at least I never could use one. Yep, a longer nose would make it work and I do like the size of my Preston. Feels good in the hand. But...for tenon cheeks I don't even like using wide shoulder planes, either.

The bullnose does come out occassionaly for stopped rebates. For cleaning them up after popping out a piece with a chisel for the nose to land, and then removing the nose, they do work nice if one can control them.

When I have used a plane, I found the rabbet block of LN's nice as it is wider than most large shoulder planes and it is very ergonomic in use.

Take care, Mike

>Well Denis -

I can tell you that you won't have to save up for the next one...just priced it yesterday....

$29 US (intro price only - I think that makes it $32 Cdn...)...

The main problem now - is getting enough made before we actually release it...

The second one will be the LH edge plane...

After that....well.... we'll just have to see.

Cheers -

Rob
