I could cry....

Ok, this is really dumb. Yesterday I was working on fitting some inset drawer fronts. I was trimming the edges with my shoulder plane on an older bench hook. Well after the third pass something felt a little wierd. I looked and the side of the shoulder plane and there was a nice little scratch along the side. There was a screw tip that had just passed through the bench hook where the hook is attached. :(

So now my new LN large shoulder has a nice little scratch about one inch long on the side. Fortunately it is not very deep and I should be able to rub it out on a 4000 grit stone.

Needless to say I replaced all of the screws on the bench hook with shorter screws.

There is an upside. Now anyone who sees it will know that you actually use your planes.:)

[Dennis McDonaugh]

Michael, sorry about your plane. My tools take such a beating I should just whack them up against something when I take them out of the box and get it over with.

Some folks call that character ;) Performance is not reduced at all. They are meant to be worked, not collect dust :D

[Michael Gabbay]

Hey guys thanks for the grief counseling :D . I'll probably leave it the way it is. I have other more important things to deal with, like polishing the backs of some new LN chisels (stealth gloat) and some plane blades.
