Looks like the taps are on again.
We’ll be discussing what we do for all those we’ve inconvenienced later today.....what a mess.
I got to the very end, review order, press enter and ......... drum roll.........
Sorry, we are currently experiencing issues with our website.
- Unfortunately we are unable to process your order at this time. Please try again later.
Will, I get the same error message at reviewing the order. Never mind, it just went through. Or not the confirmation email says quantity 0. So IDK

Jason...forward me your email, and I’ll check.... rlee@leevalley.com
Successed! Thanks Rob, I really do know what a mess this can be to fix (my product generally ends up on the news when it breaks). I do appreciate the efforts

Thanks for confirming! I did re-visit the confirm page a few times (though not too quickly, trying not to be part of the problem!) and it eventually completed. These events always tax systems in unexpected ways.
Now things are calmer, I just snuck in another order of more trivial items. I have a friend who collects things like those trick nuts!
Well, I'm sure I was part of the problem. It took that page 45 secs to load, 15 secs to read, that's later right? So I click it again.
With patience my (small) order went thru, as the servers unwound. (Sad to say, these sales are becoming less and less interesting as I seem to have accumulated most of the tools in years past. Both seconds and firsts.)
Anyway, I recall a lot of recent angst from beginning dovetailers about saws. The standard Veritas dovetail saw is still available and at $64 you really can't go wrong. Get it, learn, and then decide if you want to spring on an upgrade.
ETA: Sold out now!

I had the same problem - the site opened 20 seconds early, I selected my item, did all the inputs and within the first 90 seconds after going to checkout I got the address thing; changed to ship to store; then it couldn't complete due to web issues.
Managed to refresh 3 times, finally went through.
By the time I finished my transaction and went back, all the small planes were gone. I didn't need any so Shrug.
Agree, it's a problem for us, but imagine what Rob's going through.
Young enough to remember doing it;
Old enough to wish I could do it again.
I missed out as well despite being logged on at the start. Oh well. I’ll get a shiny perfect one later on. I’m sure it was pretty frustrating for everyone on the lines at LV and don’t hold it against them. Stuff happens...
