Heard the doorbell ring and saw a FedEx package from LV lying by the door.

Ripped it open and found this LV medium shoulder plane. :eusa_danc

Thanks to Jeremy for ordering at the Charlotte WW show special price! :icon_thum

Almost off the scale. I have a Stanley 92, and was surprised at how handy it was to have around. You got a LV, it's got to be handier

NICE SCORE! I got my package today too and was happy to see it on the front door step!

First impressions are lasting.

I wiped the body down tho it probably didn't need that since it was very lightly oiled.

I honed the back and bevel on a Norton 8000 waterstone and didn't need anything coarser. The blade is flat. It didn't take many passes to create a mirror on the back. The bevel had some fine machine lines but they came off quickly. 3-4 minutes and it's sharp enough to make a hair jump.

Placed blade into body, adjusted side align set screws and tried it out on a piece of poplar. It is a pleasure to hold and use. I love the sound it makes, doesn't care if the cut is endgrain, long grain, or a cheek cut. Transparent wisps of shavings right out the gate.

My first LV plane is a well-machined beauty, a keeper for sure!
