    Default I'm in love ...

    After wondering what the fuss is with handplanes, I have bought a Lee valley LA Jack Plane. This is my first serious plane and OMG I have been looking to plane wood wherever & whenever I can. It's so therapeutic isn't it ?

    Taking a transparent shaving is a new experience

    Romantic isn't it. When is it OK for a man to cry? When he sees wood shavings coming off that finely polished blade.

    My wife thinks I'm having an affair in the shed. She just can't figure who with ...

    I invested in some waterstones at the same time .... sharpness, real sharpness is a new experience too.

    I know what you mean. My LAJ (about three years ago) was an eye-opener. What a great plane

    I used a new wood river no5 a few weeks ago. What a difference from my old Stanleys. I am now casting a very critical eye over my old stuff. eBay may be warming up this year...

    Cheers,
    Virg.
