LV Shooting Plane - Laughing heartily at myself

[Frederick Skelly]

So I was finally ready to buy the LV Shooting Plane, after lots of PMs to folks who have them and watching multiple threads here. Decided I'd spring for the extravagance. Went to order it and the one I want is out of stock until November 30! Hahahahaha! You just gotta love it!

So now, I'll wait for Christmas. Then it'll be a GIFT, not an extravagance. :D :D :D

Thanks again for all your advice on this buy, folks!

Well they have the plane in stock, and they have the blades in stock separately, they just don't have the blade you want in the same box as the plane. If you call LV and explain what you are needing, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that their customer service is willing to swap blades around and make what you want available now.

[Frederick Skelly]

Thanks Greg. Looks like they have the left hand tool in stock but they're out of the right hand. I could make the lefty work, but prefer the other. Thanks for the idea though!

Ah, I see that now. I thought earlier that I had seen that the O1 RH was still in stock, but it must have been the LH model instead. Sorry!

[Phil Mueller]

And therein lies a brief moment when I feel lucky to be left handed :D

Fred, did you place the order though? They will still ship for free once the free shipping window is closed assuming an order was placed.

Thanks for that idea Hilton!

How have you been? We don't get to "see" much of you around here any more. I hope things are well in Johannesburg?

Best regards,
Fred

...because there isn't going to be another LV "free shipping" offer right around when the plane becomes available (Black Friday etc)? :-)

I think I may have contributed to your dilemna. My wife told me to order something nice for my birthday since I had put in a lot of work into getting our house ready to sell (it sold). In any case, when I ordered, it said 'limited quantities'. I placed my order at 5pm central on the 7th. Sorry man ;)

Wow, that's 4 or 5 people who've just ordered that plane between the 2-3 threads on the topic. It's like a case study in "social contagion".

[Noah Magnuson]

Funny. I hadn't even noticed the other threads. I just got my wife's directive and saw free shipping. Been sitting in my cart/wish list for about a year and a half now. Must be some shooting plane convergence in the universe.

Er no Patrick. Lee Valley has their Cyber Monday sale on the 27th but for this event you have to pay for shipping. Their next free shipping event is just after Christmas but I recall getting an email last year or the one before about a free shipping event before Christmas for select customers.

So today I get home from work and what do I find? My Cyber Monday LV Shooting Plane!
Oh, it's gonna be SOOOO hard to leave that bad boy alone until Christmas!

But I got it! :)

[Brian Hale]

You're tellin us you can't play with it till after Christmas!?!?!?

Such torture!

My Cyber Monday Right hand shooter arrived the Wednesday after the sale and i've been using it for everything i can think of, including shooting.

Only one problem..... I paid for a Blemished plane but i've yet to find the Blemish :confused:

Hi Brian,
I've bought 4 different "blemished" items from LV and have yet to find a single blemish. :)

What you need is a gift idea for somebody else. Not just any gift idea, but one that requires, nay *demands*, some precision shooting.

Because then it just wouldn't be in keeping with the Christmas Spirit (tm) to leave the plane alone. In fact if you let such a gifting opportunity pass then you'd be making yourself complicit in the War On Christmas (tm), and we can't have that.

Genius! Pure genius! Thanks Patrick!

You have a few options:



Send it back, tell them it was misrepresented as blemished.
Send it to me, and I will blemish it for you; may take me a while.
Use it until you consider it blemished.
