Going LOW ...

[WoodWrangler]

This is my last ... at least for a little while. :gar-La;

Just picked this up from a gentleman in Raleigh (who I hope to get to join NCWW soon!). It's a Lie Nielsen Low Angler Smoother.

Yeah Right :gar-La; !
Congratulations ! :icon_thum

 

[Travis Porter]

I have that one! I have yet to use it though......

Let me know what you think of it.

Now, in addition to a real workbench, you need to build a nice display cabinet so they don't get dusty!!!!

Why do you think I got that glass door cabinet? :gar-La; Heck, I'm getting these things RUSTY from USE!

Phillip, you were two steps ahead of me on that one! Now if Jeremy would only share his secrets to LN finds on CL???

 

[cpowell]

Man, you are on a roll. Nice score Jeremy! :eusa_danc

(I'm looking for a LV BU smoother if you come across one)

It came today! (Well, Saturday but I wasn't here to receive it)



Can't wait to put it to wood!

 

[MikeL]

VERY nice Jeremy! I do not own any LN planes yet, but I was spoiled after having the chance to use them at one of Bill Anderson's workshops. It was love at first sight........ with the Lie-Nielsen tools!!!

I was wondering, how do you coordinate your long distance deals on CL (payment form/shipment arrangements) to minimize risk?

Dude, STOP buying tools already! Give me 30 years to catch up. :swoon:

Nice score man! :icon_thum

If I'm buying on Craigslist, just as with eBay, I insist that the buyer accept PayPal. I usually counteroffer with a price that includes the PayPal charge. I also *require* that the seller and myself talk on the phone. For me, it sets a tone and I get to hear the person on the other end. A lot can be said by the conversation -- in fact, with good quality woodworking tools I find the other person to be much like myself and other NCWWers and very passionate about this work. So far, so good.

BTW - This plane was from SMC, though the seller is actually in Raleigh. SO even more comfort just knowing he was "close" and very active in the WWing community online.

 

[MikeL]

Thank you Jeremy (I just realized you had answered my question). That seems like a reasonable way for both parties to conduct long distance tool sales!

 

[PurpleThumb]

Drool!!!!! Drool!!!!! Drool!!!!! Color these the green .of envy

 

[flatheadfisher]

So, have you used it yet? I am curious how it compares to a 4 1/2. I put a 10 degree back bevel on my 4 1/2 since I have been working so much with the hard maple. I wondered how a low angle smoother would have worked.

Nice score man! :icon_thum

Seriously!!!!! How the heck are we supposed to catch up when you keep buying all these tools?

Nice score!

Congrats on the new LA plane. I have it and love it. I bought an extra blade and sharpened it to a higher angle for highly figured woods.

Now... how did you get on the handtool bus?? The "Mr Give me a sander" is buying handplanes. LOL!!!!!!! Welcome to the handtool world.

Yeah, considering it was partially his fault! :gar-La;
