Lee Valley seems to always have an interesting cover.

Maybe one year they will put out a calendar with their best covers.

They do have some posters with limited availability in stores only. No stores near me, sadly. :-(

I play a little game with their covers, in which I count how many of the tools I own, of those pictured. I fail bigtime on this one: Stanley 71, 71-1/2, and 271, but none of the exotic ones. Dang it.

In fairness, most of these look either rare or craftsman-made one-offs.

Not a calendar but, a nice archive (there's a print option): http://www.leevalley.com/us/home/page.aspx?p=60655

Not so long ago I bought a whole lot of tools at an estate. In a private house I found 13 router planes Stanley 71 or 71-1/2 but also the monster one shown in the pictures with no name. It looks like it was forged. I am left with 100~ cutters for router planes after selling all 13 with 3 cutters each.

Don't use a lot of hand tools, but I was pretty sure a router plane isn't designed with a "frog" to bed the cutter. Finally spotted the little criters. Beautiful picture - beautiful tools.

Wow spent way to much time looking for those - front and center, front center! Pretty cool alright.

DOH! I couldnt figure out WHAT the devil you folks were talking about. Thanks for the pointer Ryan.

I sure would enjoy a chance to tour their tool collection.
Hey Rob - you could auction off a tour of your facilities and the LV tool collection and donate the proceeds to your favorite charity - be a great thing to do at a show!
