So my wife gave me a $500 gift card for Lie-Nielsen and we're heading to Maine this weekend for my birthday (the big 40). We plan to stop in Warren at the LN shop. So here's my dilemma: I can buy my choice of anything at LN and there's so many choices! I have several wants: 4 1/2 smoothing plane, jointer plane, bevel-up plane, and a carcass or tenon saw. Also, does anyone know why the 4 1/2 Bronze smoother is 3 times the price of the iron one?
