Tiny, very tiny, tool gloat

In a moment of weakness I succombed to the marketing strategy of the folks at Lee Valley who conspired to send me an e-mail introducing their new Veritas Detail Rabbet Planes. To make matters worse they are offereing an introductory price during March. I have the Veritas medium sized shoulder and the Lie Nielsen small shoulder plane and I thought these planes would be useful for small detailed work. These are really micro planes and may be more decorative than utile. On the other hand, like other Veritas products they are well made. The iron and brass are finished very well and they sit nicely in the hand. There are really only four parts to each planes The blades make nice shavings right out of the box, but I'm sure they'll be more effective when sharpened and properly set.

I put the keys iand pencils in the photos to help show the scale.

You need to go to leevalley.com to find the planes
Introductory prices on sets of planes until March 25, 2010. Save $20 on either the set of 3 Imperial or the set of 3 metric planes; the regular prices will be $169. For those who would like to purchase all five planes, the introductory price is $239 until March 25, 2010 and $279 after this date. Or you can purchase them individually. They look terrific and function as good as they look!

I have to come forward at this time and admit to the LJ world, I AM A TOOLAHOLIC, I feel the urge to succumb to all sorts of tool purchase opportunities. Enjoy the planes, they look well made and accurate. BTKS

Is there a 12 point program for this? Perhaps we should have an on-line meeting.

"Hi, I'm Glen. I'm a tool-a-holic."

"Hi Glen"

Jon, you win post of the day.

Steve, some things should stay secret.

Maybe I should take up another aspect of woodworking, like, say, carving. There are whole sets of tools I don't have yet.
