[WoodWrangler]

Have you seen these? Looks like an old-time car, or something.

Dog gone it! I bought a L/N Low Angle just a while ago and my folks are going to get me a regular block plane for Christmas. Now, they come out with these beauties! Oh well, can you ever have too many?

They sure do look good but I'll stick with Lie Nielsen. I have never in any way been disappointed with L-N tools.:gar-La;

They don't knock me out. Guess I'm just a traditionalist!

Here's a good review on them.

I guess this is their new line I have been reading about.

I like Veritas/Lee Valley, but I too like the Lie Nielsen stuff even more. ;-)

I like the design a lot. They are really pushing the envelope. I'm with most guys I prefer my LN, but LV are great too. I really like LV spoke shaves and my new router plane.

Boy if I had money to burn I'd probably buy one just because they are cool looking.

So where do you put the key in?
