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?
