Lastvyear bought the LV miter shooting plane. Was supposed to be blemished, but where, I don't know!

I like this plane better than any others I have, for shooting, and this includes mt LN#9 and LN bevel up jack.

Know just what you mean Tony. I've bought 3 LV handplanes on Cyber Mondays. Two times out of three, I could not find any mark or blemish. I did find a small, minor mark on last year's purchase. For me, that mark was a "So what?" thing.

I find it ironic that those shopping for hand woodworking tools are able to find deals on a marketing day originally designed *only* for technology products. :)

That IS ironic, isnt it? I only started paying attention to Cyber Monday when I wanted to buy a new hand plane. So I wasnt aware of that history - thanks Roy!

Hey, hand tools are part of technology. How did the people who make electronically-based objects manage to highjack the word? After all, this is technology, too:
397412

And this:
397413

And so on and on...

Valuable, yes. "Cyber"? Not so much. ;)

Midnight east coast time tonight. All the good tools will sell out within 30 min or an hour. And be prepared for the site to crash for the first 10-15min.

Cuz it's online sales only maybe?

My goodness... I am envious. This is the one plane I have a hard time justifying outside of "want". At CM prices, I'd definitely succumb to that urge!

I sure hope not....!

Site crash is my LEAST concern...my biggest worry is the really really good goodies get sold out within the first 15 minutes!:p

To help prevent a site crash, you guys should wait till 12:30

How 'bout, NO. :)

(And I'm sure clicking my reload every ten seconds helped them get the site back up last time it crashed!)

To help reduce the chances of site crash, I suggest that next year's sale starts at 3:45 AM east coast time.:D

Good news: the site didn't crash. Bad news: they apparently didn't screw-up any of the stuff I was hoping for. Well, bad for me, I guess for them that's good news. :)

Thanks Rob!
