Well, since Rob is a fairly frequent poster here, and we talk about LV frequently (almost uniformly positive), this seems like a good place to ask.

Yes, you have to put down a deposit and then wait until they’re built. I have two and am waiting for delivery of a Jack plane pretty soon. Well worth the wait.

This is a very good, gentlemanly and thoughtful post. Thank you.
I looked in my plane drawer to confirm, I’ve got an embarrassment of block planes. Four kids and several Christmas gifts. They don’t seem to understand I don’t need 10 of these.
I have std and...
Derek, I have it somewhere in my notes but can’t find it now. I seem to recall that you don’t hollow ground your Japanese chisels? (Using your ultimate CBN system for solely Sheffield type steels?)...
I’ve somehow missed this thread. Since joining this sub forum, and learning extensively from the many much more knowledgeable hand-powered tool experts here, I’ve become a big fan of Veritas tools....
Just know if you do that it can be a rabbit hole you may not climb back out of! Personal experience ;)
Thanks. That’s the problem. I haven’t been able to find just a motor which would work without the canisters or bags, which I would obviously remove if that’s what I have to end up buying.
Jim, are you thinking something like this from Grizzly, or Harbor Freight, would be the ticket? Hooked up to an outflow duct (into neighbors dumpster :) ). Or something else? Thx. Jon

Thanks Jim. I’ve looked around a little but haven’t landed on anything. I don’t want to spend a ton for limited use. Do you or others have any links or brand/model advice?
Please help with some advice. I have an 18” Powermatic planer. When I designed my shop the plan was to just roll it outside and collect the chips afterwards. My ClearVu DC is below in the basement,...
My transition has been a little different than others posting here. Coming from strictly a power tool background, I’ve been building wooden dories now for a few years with ever increasing use of hand...
Better order soon. I was waiting for many months, can’t remember exactly how long, and it became available again just recently. Not sure if it still is.
I think the OP had a typo and meant VCI paper. Same stuff my skew rabbet planes from Lee Valley came in.

Thomas, I’m embarrassed to share your experience. I recently cleaned my shop after completing a large boat build. It was over one year of accumulated mess and I decided to reorganize my hand tools...
Also, go over to the workshops sub forum for lots more advice. Much of it is repetitive, but I ended up reading many of the posts for several years back, taking notes. You can find great tips on...
Agree with most comments above. I built my 1200 sq ft shop four years ago, and added a basement pretty much right before we started excavating. Good call, added costs weren’t huge but now I have my...
The easiest way to adjust pic orientation is, assuming you’ve used an iPhone, edit the pictures in the Photo app. Select the edit button and then do something to the pic, either crop it a little or...
Thanks. Insert sarcasm font.
As I said, I posted this after reviewing Neanderthal threads back to 2010. Due diligence done. I’m on page 707 right now (counting up to the oldest page, currently...
Thanks Derek. Was hoping you were up and about over there!
Kevin, thanks. Just to be clear I’ve been honing for a long time, mainly freehand but also have a drawer full of jigs. The CBN wheel is a new gift. Before that I could never get happy with the...
After reading posts from about 600 of the previous Neader pages (skimmed them over several months) I’m still confused about what happens when honing a chisel or plane blade after hollow grinding, be...
Anyone know when the LN showroom will reopen? Traveling again to Camden this early summer, and would like to get some hands-on time, plus drop some money at Liberty Tool.
Thanks. Jon.
I recently purchased two of the Crucible holdfasts, which fit a 1” hole. Impulse buy, etc….I earlier was gifted a pair of Peter Ross 3/4” holdfasts. The Crucible HF’s look really cool and apparently...
A great SMC interview with George.
