Hmmmm.... and I just got a bonus check today. Wait- let me rephrase that- ROB LEE just got a bonus check. Let's face it- that's where it ultimately ends up. :-)

By the way, how did you find out about this? I am supposed to be on their email notification list, but I did not get any notification, and have not in a while. I just checked my preferences and I am on the list to get sale and woodworking emails.

This would have been handy info two days ago. However I do have an eye on that rip tenon saw...

Spend $100 and get 15% back in gift cards? "Gosh, honey, I have these gifts cards, so I have to order something else." That's diabolical, Rob Lee. Downright diabolical.

Saw this in my email, too. I've been eyeing up a number of things to get my tool chest ready. The set of 3 Veritas joinery saws, router plane, saw files, small plow plane. Might be a good excuse to rack up some gift cards. Glad I waited!

Email as per normal. Maybe drop them a message to check the back-end as there may be a hiccup there.

My experience with Lee Valley is their email appears to be staggered. Some people receive them a day or more before everyone finds them in their in box.

Just checked my email and it is there.

Well I guess this gives me an excuse to buy something. I've got a gift card from the MIL for my birthday to spend still. The question is, do I want a spokeshave or a Router plane?

Oh SNAP, as they say. Like I REALLY NEED to place another order? Free shipping was like what, a month ago?

I resisted the free shipping. I will resist this as well. I will, I will, I will.

15% gift card earned this time + free shipping (when card used in the next free shipping event) is like what 18% to 20% saving?

Hard to hold the will......just sayin'

It got my attention too.
Estimated ~10% savings compared to the free-shipping deal.

Thanks for that tid-bit of information. It came at a very opportune time.

I really want a set of their butt chisels. I need a good 2" chisel but wow- they are not cheap. I might spring for just the 2".

You will be assimilated.

Resistance is futile.

I have a LV gift card from Christmas still- I wonder if I still get the deal if I pay with a gift card …

Of course. Money is money, it doesn't matter when it was traded.

Got in on this deal this morning. Spent all sorts of time perusing the Veritas products and ended up with more items than I started out looking for. Set of 3 joinery saws, MKII honing guide cambered roller, saw files and storage roll, a set of scrapers, burnisher, apron, even a PM-V11 plane blade. Spent way too much, but can't wait for that box to arrive! Of course, I could have spent even more, so it could be worse...

Anyone else get anything good?
