    Ideas for Veritas' next tool

    Hey Rob, I know you lurk here. I'm going to waive my usual fee for my intellectual property. (The usual fee is $0.01, although admittedly overpriced.) Here is what I would like to see come out of Veritas

    • A compass plane like the Stanley 20, but with Veritas modern engineering
    • A high quality level with a beveled edge ruler on one side and a flat on the other- like if your aluminum straight edge, a level, and a ruler all stepped into that machine from the movie "The Fly" and came out as one mutated tool. Make the markings start at a zero line so I can accurately mark from zero rather than starting at 1.
    • Chisel slicks in 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5" or metric equivalent sizes. Long handles, hefty built, and offered in O1, A2, and PMV11.
    • Drafting/lofting ducks with black crinkle finish, quality pads, and stainless points. Make the "tail" pointed so you can use them to leverage against tight curves from the inside. Also sell a spline with a groove that the points fit into so the spline doesn't slip.


    That's the short list. Anyone else want to chime in on tools you wish Veritas made?

    Wow, why did I not know they sold a slick? Seems it's out of stock for another 7 months.

    I never realized they don't have a No. 3. That's a good addition.

    That's a good price on that slick. Looks like another tool I'll have to have.

    Cheaper than many used ones on eBay, and looks to be properly elevated at the handle and flat the entire length of the blade.

    I'd be happy to see the triumphant return of the April Fool's line.

    Not sure why they have discontinued producing them (large and small).

    I kept saying I would get one with a future order and then they were gone before I got one :sad:

    A Veritas version of the Stanley #48
    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

    A #3 would be excellent.

    How about they have something in stock...anything, before we start asking for new stuff. I haven't bought anything there is over a year because every time I go to buy something it's out of stock. I've about given up on that brand.
