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=).
"Designed by a committee of woodworkers ranging from novice to neophyte, this system exemplifies the pinnacle of collaboration."

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.

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.)
