>I'm the owner of the very first "real" Veritas left-handed iron trimming plane. This is certified by Rob Lee himself, no less :-)

The brown truck just dropped of a box at my office. Inside, among other items, is a aforementioned plane for me, and a "Little Victor" for my son.

Huh?

Hoa Dinh

>Rob, I demand a discount!

I thought I had the first one.

Oh, that was why you said I had the first "real" plane. The ones before them are all "unreal."

I used the left-pawed version tonight. As expected, it's as sweet as the right-pawed brother.
