    no more Lee Valley AFD tools ?

    I don't see anything new this year and they took a pause last year. So I guess they've ended their tradition. Bummer. Always looked forward to seeing what their creative bunch would come up with.

    Maybe nobody worked this weekend and they are scrambling to get it out this morning.

    If not, everyone send a note and let them know about the anticipation and angst spreading through their fan base!

    I think it might have been in Gifts this year. I was thinking this was this year's entry: http://www.leevalley.com/us/gifts/pa...25&cat=54&ap=1

    Pretty sure I remember Mr. Lee posting last year that they weren't doing it anymore, too expensive.

    But they came out with great ideas that COULD have been sold.
    Young enough to remember doing it;
    Old enough to wish I could do it again.

    I asked. They wrote:

    "Unfortunately we were not able to create a tool for April 1st this year. We had too many new and current projects that staff were working on over the last year, and had to take a pause for our annual April Fool’s posting. "

    So that's that.

    I thought that was this years AFD tool but then dug into the comments to figure out that was their very first AFD tool.
