First time for me - but man, that is cool. I'd love to try one out. I'm guessing it's about as much as a decent cabinet saw though!

Bridge City = top dollar.

I have three of their smaller, "cheaper" tools, a jointmaker's hammer, a 2" tri-square, and 2" by 4" saddle sqaure. I LOVE these tools.

But I can't see shelling out $800 for a block plane.

Not what I expected from the subject line. Where's the rolling papers?

Edwin,

That's funny as heck.

Expect to see this cloned here in the near future.

Looks like a handsaw blade in a saw filing vise, with a few extra refinements. Also looks like it's good for nipping off fingertips.

Sawstop isn't going to make a unit for it?

Easily rectified with a pair of chain-mail gloves. Not cheap, but easily used other places too.

Not to worry ... the Festool has their new "Woodworker's Model", which anticipates that some digits may be missing and comes "ready rolled" in a handy Systainer 100 pack.

PLEASE, don't encourage him ... monitor wipes are at an all time high on the spot market!

Leon would have no other!

Introductory cost $1100, regular price $1300. It makes Festool look cheap. Where's the plug?

No,,, then they are pre-rolled, they disappear faster. ;~)

A .357 magnum mounted under the sliding table pointing back toward the operator?

Holy carp!

Looks like something Chris Schwartz bloged about on one of his blogs. He had a contest with the designer (before the design) for who can make the thinest cut with a handsaw. Guy beat him soundly then came back a while later with this design and a thinner cut.
