The Lie-Nielsen works in much the same way as the old Stanleys. Instead of two blades like the Stanleys, the Lie-Nielsen has one blade that is notched in the middle to give the same effect as two...

Thomas showed me a prototype when I visited Lie-Nielsen Toolworks in Maine last July. :U It is a nice looking piece of kit. I didn't actually try it out. Just looked at it.

The new planes have now gone up on the Lee Valley website. Check them out here. US$179 for the DX60 and US$279 for the NX60.

There is also this one for $299.00. :)

The new block plane is $459.00 at Carba-tec. They have it up on their website here.

I'm sure the new design will grow on me, but right now I like the look of the standard Veritas block plane...

My understanding is that the CT MINI and CT MIDI do not have a blower function but the CT 22 and up do.

According to the Festool guys at the Sydney Timber and Working With Wood Show the MFT3 will be availalble in Australia in August.

I have a Lie-Nielsen dovetail saw. It is a great little saw that I would happily recommend to anyone.

Mike Wenzloff is just about to make me a new crosscut carcass saw. Just a few days ago he...

I don't see it as a problem at all. :)

What about the Macquarie Bank symbol?

They seem to own a pretty big chunk of Australia. :rolleyes:

Pete Taran's Vintage Saws website might be a good place to start. Check out the Library section for a few good articles on saws. The article titled Saw Filing--A Beginner's Primer talks about rip saw...

Yep, I got a Lie-Nielsen No. 9 and Christopher Schwarz's Workbench Book. :2tsup:

Hi Derek,

I've got an 8-inch Norton 3X wheel on my grinder. My wheel is 60 grit and 1-inch wide. I bought the wheel from Tools for Working Wood in the USA. I can't remember what shipping cost me...

I have opted for black walnut for my handle.

Since my earlier post in this thread Mike has been in touch about a delivery date. I could have had the saw in time for Christmas if I went for a...

And the rest. I ordered a carcass saw from Mike back in April and I doubt it will be here for Christmas. I'm sure it will be worth the wait though.

I've done the surface shipping thing with Lee Valley a couple of times and it always seems to take around the 12 weeks. None of my surface shipped orders have gone missing.

Lie-Nielsen have released a 'Hot Dog' attachment for their Low Angle Jack. The Australian Lie-Nielsen website doesn't have a price listed yet but on the US site the Hot Dog sells for US$50.

Well done on the review Derek. The Veritas small plough looks like a nice plane. I'll stick to my Record 043 for now but you never know what might find it's way into a future order of stuff from Lee...

I can't see how a 289 would work on a shooting board. With the mouth and blade of the plane spanning the full width of the planes body the plane will just keep planing away your shooting board each...

I picked up my K-bodies tonight. Very nice. Thanks Martin and Colin. :2tsup:

No. 062 arrived at my place earlier this week. :2tsup:

There's also these little beauties.

I reckon Cruzi's correct. It would work as a kind of right angle fence. Clamp the guide to your plane with the round section pointing down. It's a very basic, non-adjustable version of the Stanley...

I assume you're talking about the OPEC meeting. :roll:

Too late, he's already left.

You were correct the first time.

I think the Chaser guys should have been arrested because they are alleged to have broken the law (let the courts decide). I do think it was pretty funny though.

I ordered one last night. It should ship around 14/09. It will be my first Veritas plane.

The Veritas 30th anniversary edge plane is now availalble for order.

Veritas® Stainless-Steel Edge Plane – Limited Edition

Looks nice.

Welcome to the forum angiep,

I haven't bought any power tools from Amazon.com. The different voltage in the USA is the issue. If the US had the same voltage as Australia then I'm sure heaps of us...

My vote goes for quench line as well. Not sure though.

Hi Martin,

My order is as follows:

8 x K125 K-Body Clamps.

Sydney pick-up.

I will pay by direct deposit.

This site might give you a few ideas.

Here is a page with a little bit of info on the history of Bernard parallel action pliers. They still make them. Here are the ones like apricotripper's and here are the ones with the side cutter.

Here is a recent thread on the topic of flattening oil stones.

You really do need to have a flat stone.

I had a few more attempts and made it out the window, over the chimney, over some trees and past a kid's playground before crashing. Distance was 55.065m.

I managed to throw the plane out the window and crash it into a chimney outside. Distance was 15.058 metres.

Looks good wileecoyote. Nice job.

I've got this Festool wallpaper. Found it on a Festool website somewhere. I've had it as my desktop wallpaper for quite a while. It shows an old style workshop that I would like to spend some time...

The bloke from the Bunnings special orders desk just got back to me. They will sell me 6 K125 Bessey K-body clamps for $120.73 per clamp.

The Bunnings price is similar to but slightly less than...

Well, it turned out that $88 K125 K-Body clamps was to good to be true. After initially accepting my order and my request to have the order shipped via surface mail, I cranked up my PC today only to...

martrix,

Lee Valley didn't say who they would ship my order with. Here is the e-mail I received last night with the shipping quotes.



Then today when I asked them to ship my order via...

As martink has already stated above, you only pay import duties if the total cost of the package (i.e. cost of goods plus postage) is over $1000. I've bought a fair bit of stuff from overseas...
