    Lee Valley new tool

    Yes, it is that time...

    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Definitely need the precision set up rods. Just the other day, I was looking for something that was Pi in length, and this kit has a lot of the irrational number lengths. Really valuable for any wood worker.
    Regards,

    Joe the Woodworker took a shot at it too, kinda pales in comparison to Lee Valley.

    Good ol Lee Valley, they never disappoint with their AFD videos!
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!

    "Useful for even the most torpid woodworker." They sure put effort into these.

    I loved the standards, prime numbers, pi.

    The best was the class 4 laser that left minimal charring...................You have to love Lee Valley.........Rod.

    The great part about these annual jokes is that they actually do make one of the tools. It really functions. One year, the joke was a tape measure that was blank. The demand was so high, they went into production. Of course, they just had to say in the literature that it was available in imperial and metric.

    I don't like the Lee Valley intro music. If Veritas tools are made in Canada then the intro music should be by Rush.

    That's all the help I can give you with this. I think it will answer any questions you might have.

    I want to have emerging talents. Does Lee Valley carry those as well?

    Great tool and a good laugh too! The PI gage block looks so useful.

    Best laugh I had all evening. Loved the class 4 laser.

    Didn't know if they had a Euler's number rod in addition to the Pi rod. Add-on accessory, perhaps?

    - After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
    - It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.
