So Woodcraft posted a new Islab advertisement on April Fools Day.
I haven't seen one from Lee Valley yet.
What gives?? :)
I take it back. Lee Valley has a new Precision Tool Holder on their site.
You guys are asleep at the wheel this morning.

LV's is up. To be honest, I liked it years ago when we didn't discuss it. It made it fun when there someone took the bait and posted about it.
Woodcraft's (no offense to them) is lame; you know immediately it's a ruse. With LV's it's right on the edge of 'no way that's real' and 'I bet there's someone out there who will buy it.'

Woodcraft's making an effort though.
It's not a joke, but I have almost bought the no. 1 hand plane from them twice now. I don't know why I lust after one.

So, what kind of stones would be best to use for sharpening "ion-nitride" treated tools?

For me what is worse is some bloggers try to come with up their own April Fools' jokes or inventions, forgetting that they are better a woodworker than a joke creator. April Fools' products from LV are often a class act and they have the resources to pull them out of the hat. Why make yourself a fool trying to be the smarter guy? No one is under any obligation to make a joke or a video even though it is April 1st.

Where is the Woodcraft joke? I went to their site but don't see it. How about a link?
Got an email about the LV one this am.

I 'd be totally surprised if Patrick hasn't already got at least one and that George didn't make a few of these back in the day.

I always click the "add to cart" to see the "gotcha" page, which continues the hilarity.

haha, but seriously if you try to add to cart the page it goes to continues the humor- not going there is like telling a joke without the punchline.
