Yup, it's that time of year. Don't forget to checkout LV's "new one day tool". Link (http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?&p=75640&c=).

The eccentric placement of the rod is actually a decent idea. :D

Oddly, that does make my Veritas stainless gauge my preferred gauge.

I sure could use that Sharpie adapter sometimes though ;-)

The Sharpie adapter - I'll finally be able to plane to the line.

Hi John,

Great video! I think that I will keep my 1960s drafting board, triangles, and T-square for now though.

I think they need an adapter for holding a piece of chalk for marking dark lumber, especially in those applications where high precision is not needed.

Darn...a missed opportunity!

[Allen Jordan]

Is it bad that I kind of want one?

.......Yes.

That is one of the best April fools I've ever seen. No one here fell for it of course. The suitcase of precision crap was a brilliant touch and so Lee Valley! I laughed so hard I spilt my drink!

Hi Rob,

By the way, I loved your add that is linked to at the top of the post. I read it again a bit ago and laughed again. I did miss one thing the first time that I caught the second time....the average density being around 40 lbs per cubic INCH......some darned heavy lumber. (I'm thinking that a 4/4 4"wide by a foot would weigh just a bit less than a ton, haven't grabbed a pencil and paper or calculator, just thought about it so I could be wrong, but that's what I came up with.)
