    Thank you for the reminder!
    Lat year i got a blemished shooting plane... still haven't found the blemish
    The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

    The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

    I have a shopping list .......
    I know EXACTLY what time to fire up the computer.
    Young enough to remember doing it;
    Old enough to wish I could do it again.

    Lastvyear bought the LV miter shooting plane. Was supposed to be blemished, but where, I don't know!

    I like this plane better than any others I have, for shooting, and this includes mt LN#9 and LN bevel up jack.

    Know just what you mean Tony. I've bought 3 LV handplanes on Cyber Mondays. Two times out of three, I could not find any mark or blemish. I did find a small, minor mark on last year's purchase. For me, that mark was a "So what?" thing.

    I find it ironic that those shopping for hand woodworking tools are able to find deals on a marketing day originally designed *only* for technology products.

    That IS ironic, isnt it? I only started paying attention to Cyber Monday when I wanted to buy a new hand plane. So I wasnt aware of that history - thanks Roy!

    Hey, hand tools are part of technology. How did the people who make electronically-based objects manage to highjack the word? After all, this is technology, too:

    And this:

    And so on and on...

    Valuable, yes. "Cyber"? Not so much.

    Midnight east coast time tonight. All the good tools will sell out within 30 min or an hour. And be prepared for the site to crash for the first 10-15min.
