    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.

    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

    Will,

    If your order doesn’t or didn’t go through, shoot me an email with what you we after, and I’ll see what I can do.... (same goes for anyone in this thread....)

    Cheers ( though not cheerful at the moment )

    Rob

    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!

    Sold out now -- Dovetail saw still available!

    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!

    That is precisely my motivation in this sale.

    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...
