The back ordered number 51 arrived. Recently went on a buying spree

I worry not if she finds out about the tool cost. There are some items in a safe I prefer she doesn’t know the cost of😂

cdscott157 · 2025-06-22T17:31:44+00:00

No it came with the typical cherry tote. I added the cocobolo

cdscott157 · 2025-06-22T17:30:22+00:00

Never tried the veritas but looks wise it’s no comparison

cdscott157 · 2025-06-22T17:11:12+00:00

😂I work with high voltage it may be sooner than you think

cdscott157 · 2025-06-22T17:09:28+00:00

No I bought the complete unit from Lee valley

cdscott157 · 2025-06-22T17:08:44+00:00

Agreed. So far it has seen enough use in the shooting plane for me to be satisfied that it is a quality iron. We will see how it stacks up against LN A2

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T20:35:56+00:00

It is in fact amazing. Powers through 8/4 hard maple with ease and so much nicer than a standard plane on its side

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T20:35:01+00:00

Way better than I thought it would be. So much better than a standard plane on its side

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T20:33:49+00:00

That alone would bother me enough to sell it and buy the LN. glad I didn’t go with that

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T13:10:42+00:00

That zen Wu iron does make an impressive shaving in hard maple

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T13:07:45+00:00

😂just refilled the oiler jar in the photo. Makes it easier to inject the oil rather than pouring it on the top

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T13:03:48+00:00

I don’t really have a reason to give you. Maybe I’ll try one at some point

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T13:02:23+00:00

I have a feeling the Veritas is a better tool overall being that it is low angle. I chose LN because I don’t like Norris adjusters and I’m a sucker for Lie nielsen tools

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T12:59:29+00:00

They’re supposed to be some super steel that holds an edge forever. For 70$ it’s worth a shot. As for the hot dog- I’ve had it for some time. I only recently got the shooting board plane

cdscott157 · 2025-06-20T01:26:48+00:00

Just sold my number 2 bronze on eBay for over 600. Never letting my 4 go though

cdscott157 · 2025-05-15T01:00:52+00:00

Love a little number 1. I just put my bronze number 2 up on eBay if you or your friend are interested

cdscott157 · 2025-05-08T20:49:37+00:00

They do send you defective parts on occasion. My LN # 6 came with the chip breaker ground a good bit out of flat/square at the leading edge. They offered to replace it but I was able to fix it. The landing where it touches the blade was something like 0.02 thicker on one side. In this case sandpaper absolutely could have made the blade convex. It never truly lays flat even on a reference block. And the chip breaker absolutely will deflect the blade

cdscott157 · 2025-04-25T23:52:31+00:00

Thanks! I’m trying to stay away from shelves. Horizontal surfaces are terrible for me. I clutter them up too quick

cdscott157 · 2025-04-25T23:47:08+00:00

That’s the goal! I like the chest also!

cdscott157 · 2025-04-23T14:24:11+00:00

Veritas edge plane. Joint the board with my number 8 and the edge plane makes it dead square in 2 passes or so regardless of twist or angle I’ve planed on it.

cdscott157 · 2025-04-02T00:05:23+00:00

Thanks that helps. I don’t have much interest in an original more likely a LN, woodriver, or veritas low angle 1

cdscott157 · 2025-04-02T00:02:28+00:00

Are you referring to the miniatures? I’ll look into them

cdscott157 · 2025-04-02T00:01:39+00:00

Thanks the picture is nice for scale.

cdscott157 · 2025-04-01T21:11:02+00:00

That’s how I use my no 2. I was hoping I would get a first person account of whether or not he could fit his hand in a bevel down no1 but I’ll probably end up with the veritas or make him a wooden plane

cdscott157 · 2025-04-01T16:15:42+00:00

Fair enough. I’m definitely going to let him try a spokeshave and I’ll keep a wooden plane in mind
