It is now 1:09 p.m. and this is the April fool's GOTCHA! for me.

Should have guessed it halfway through the video. Didn't see it coming!

Is this too an April Fool joke? What is one supposed to type in the "Refine Your Search" block?

I have none of Veritas planes, but building our log house 10 years ago I bought their double bubble scribe. An amazing tool until then I had never heard of one.

Lee Valley is an excellent company making/selling quality products.

That video should be on an episode of "How it's Made."

I love a company with a sense of humor.

I must confess, it took me a while to catch on. For a minute there, I thought I might not be worthy of buying one. :lol:

Did you check the prices on their planes? You might not be wealthy enough to buy one. That said they do have top quality planes. However, I have several old (pre WWII) Stanley planes that work just as well once they are restored, fettled and sharpened, that I've bought at yard sales and auctions for under $25. :)
