    I so want one of those!
    So... will they be sending one to you for your review? If so, I’m coming over to see it via our new airline, Bundaberg Bearways https://www.news-mail.com.au/news/ex...h-new/3686707/

    "The class 4 laser produces a crisp clear line on nearly any surface... with only negligible charring."

    Whilst I don't normally laugh out loud at the computer, that line produced an involuntary snort and chuckle. Well done Veritas.

    Veritas do one of these every year and they archive them on their website HERE.

    My favourite used to be the Dodeca marking gauge; but this one is even better. I hope one day they'll be able to combine the best parts of both tools...

    Raised a smile but then I reckon if it were actually marketed there would be some out there that would buy. I'll bet Bridge City are thinking bu&&er they beat us to that one.

    I want one! and because I don't have a helper I'll befitting a stationary steam engine to a belt shaft. I love that they have catered to a power take off! This is the tool I've been waiting my whole life for!

    When do they put these up, Derek? I looked to see what this year's AFJ would be, last night, but I was probably looking too early, it was still March in Ottawa....

    Cheers,

    Ian, I fear that Lee Valley did not have an April Fool tool this year. These are previous years: Lee Valley Tools - Item Search
