Just received my new used 140L skew block plane in ductile iron from eBay. I may not use it as much as some may but will enjoy it when I do. Now I'd like to find an R.

John, one of my favorite tools – great for making raised panels. Enjoy
I have one and it is a keeper.
Did LN discontinue this plane? Not seeing it listed on their website...
I have one of the first LN Skew Block Planes made. I found it in a sorry state on eBay in 2008 ..
The story is here: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ToolRes...storation.html
This is how it arrived ...
It required a complete rebuild as rust had welded parts together. Thomas Lie Nielsen came to my aid as the parts were not compatible with the current version (the body was slightly larger). New W1 blade (last of the old stock), new side, and new fence.
The subfence is Tasmanian Blackwood (same as Koa) ...
I managed to snag a beautiful Cocobolo knob ...
