I've compiled a book of all of Gene Landon's tools that were auctioned in 2011 and 2012. It is available as a free pdf file at the link below.

A wonderful gift, thank you.

The quality and completeness of your work is impressive. I especially appreciate you including the sale estimates and final prices, many of which seemed most reasonable. I just thank 'my lucky stars' I was unaware of the auction(s) to begin with...or am I ?

I'm not especially an old plane 'hound,' but found the later sections on Lie Nielsen and Bridge City very interesting. It's rare to find a compilation of either so well laid out and in such fine detail. I plan to keep your work for future reference and perhaps inspiration.

Lastly, you have given me an introduction to Gene Landon who I ashamedly had not had much exposure to, until now that is. This aspect may be the most valuable of all.

Thank you again, offering up your work like this is very generous of you.

Downloading the book now. I know some of his tools are now part of my "collection." It will be interesting to look through.

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed reading this.
It was kind of neat to see one of Karl Holtey's planes along with Stanleys that looked like they had all seen good use.
