So, I am beginning to offer some fine tools for sale. More of similar quality will follow the three I list here. Our venerated friend and philosopher Cian will be hosting my pictures to follow. First, I have a 608C flat side Bedrock. Complete except for the blade, but will be sold with the new style Veritas 0-1 iron and capiron. Sole is very flat- no light shows below that straightedge. While it is dark, it does retain about 15% japanning. Mouth is solid with no chips. There is a tight crack on the knob--tote is solid with a few marks on the toe.$190 plus shipping to lower 48 only. Prefer a check if we remember each other or a long time member vouches for you or a USPS money order.

Next we have the finest rebirth of the above plane. This is a new Lie-Nielsen 608C (corrugated) with the no longer available Indian Rosewood knob and tote. As you can see, it is in original box, the vapor plastic is there and packing paper. I toss in an L-N protective sock. $415 plus shipping and payment as above.

Finally. I offer a true early Lie-Nielsen rarity. This is Tom's first version of the #9 box miter plane. They were only offered for a few months and relatively few were shipped. No guarantee, but it is likely that T L-N made this himself. It has the trigger for blade advance and retraction. Infill and knob appear to be maple with stain and oil finish. The original blade and fasteners come with it. L-N made a new blade for me. The patina is "as found in the wild." I bought this a few years ago from a master plow plane builder. I paid $450 plus shipping then and I will include the new iron at the same price . Again, shipping as first stated along with same payment preferences.

I would prefer to see my precious and fine quality tools go to people like you folks than to some yahoo who doesn't really know "jack" about how special these tools are. Pictures are best I could do with a phone. I am in the midst of a difficult residence move and my Nikon is in storage.

Yikes--it's a ghost!  Sorry to hear about the reason that brings you to selling some of your tools.  Good luck, and
welcome back.
