Grab one before they're gone - hbmcc - 04-01-2018 Finally! A place setting for my workbench/dining table. I'm getting the whole kit (system). http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=75640&cat=1,46158,75230,75235&ap=1 Veritas must be appealing to the modern woodworker with a taste for plastic. But we can build a new case. Or, wait for Lee Valley to do it. RE: Grab one before they're gone - Bill_Houghton - 04-01-2018 Yabbut - wasn't that last year's, too?

RE: Grab one before they're gone - Bill_Houghton - 04-01-2018 Well, I guess WoodCentral was ahead of its time, then: From last year RE: Grab one before they're gone - bandsaw - 04-01-2018 Lee Valley is clever - this April Fools tool is just off reality such that many are probably missing the joke and think it's a real tool offering - well done!

Over at Saw Mill Creek Rob Lee wrote they make real tools this year instead of a foll tool. https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?263665-What-No-New-Tool-For-the-Day&p=2797111#post2797111 Cheers Pedder RE: Grab one before they're gone - hbmcc - 04-01-2018 Now all Rob has to worry about is a strike. A No-Fun-Strike. Anyone ordering on 4-1-18 will receive a box of bubble wrap and appropriately sized stone. I thought that gauge looked familiar. Let's recycle another good one next year. Maybe, the Swiss Army Knife System. Have a special apron to fit. RE: Grab one before they're gone - Bibliophile 13 - 04-01-2018 Huh. Consider me fooled! Well, I'm glad they're busy making real tools, anyhow. RE: Grab one before they're gone - BrokenOlMarine - 04-01-2018 April fools? Sheesh... I thought it was cool. Couldn't see replacing my existing veritas marking gauge... but I could use the light with my vision .... RE: Grab one before they're gone - hbmcc - 04-02-2018 There is a broad line between practicality and gummy bear silliness. The LV April jokes played in that line. They were crossing midpoint and, tickling the Rockler-type useless and almost useless gizmos. |
