Hi Greg -
Just the mortise chisels.... though the raw material also went up on other PM-V11 product, there were offsetting production efficiency gains...

Hi Tom -
The A2 were discontinued so we could concentrate on the PM-V11 version. A few weeks ago, our cost to produce the PM-V11 exceeded the retail price - so we are going to stop taking orders....
Hi -
The front rod hole is sized at .3175 +.005", -0.0 .
The rear rod hole is sized at .3375 +.005", -0.0 .

Hi Rob -
We definitely chose grip comfort over clamping clearance here. Also having rods fixed at the fence end has clear manufacturing (and cost!) advantages as well as making the plane easier...
Hi Peter -
Just a smaller (less expensive) version of the plow, for those who do smaller work - hence the invented "Box Maker's" plane name.

I completely get it wrt to dates (I have...
It'll be done in a week or two - they're through milling - and into grinding and assembly - I can see finished goods components starting to hit inventory.
Dates are most variable closest to...
So here's where we are today -
When finished our power upgrade, we will have spent 8 figures (yes....8!) in expansion of our internal facilities.
We have invested heavily in flexible...
So here’s the story with shooting planes….from our VP of manufacturing (I’ve edited out confidential information):
- We are behind on shooting plane production. We currently have 3x RH shooting...
So – with some understanding of the complexity of the environment, here’s what happened in the past two years….

This is going to be a long answer – so please bear with me, as I try and flesh out the context for production scheduling here. I have to outline some of the structural realities common...
Hi Kyle -
You have every right to be upset - I would be too....
You deserve a full explanation (not an excuse) - and I will have that for you Monday - I will need to get information from...
Groan - I sure don't miss that......It's an insane amount of simultaneous traffic - and it challenges the API's that talk to the main system.
Turned the rest of my hair grey, and caused the grey...

Still some good stuff left though!

Hi Guys -
Firstly - I'd like to apologize for the lengthy delay on some products. Believe it or not - I inquired about the status of side rabbet planes and mortise chisels on Friday, before the...
As I told Scott - good thing I'm slow to reply! :)
