Hello,
I've been drooling all over my monitor for the new LV low-angle jack. She's a bute! But I am trying to justify why I NEED one. I have the LV #4.5 smooth (honed to a 60 degree pitch) and a Stanley #5 (which I could convert to a scrub, I guess), as well as a LV low-angle block. With all of these, what do I need the low-angle jack for? Alternately, If I had the jack, why would I need the smoother or block? Can someone come up with an excuse for me, as I am not knowledgeable enough?
Also, did anyone else purchase the Medium Shoulder plane from LV and now wish they'd waited? Their new bullnose plane converts to a chisel plane. The only thing I can think of to make myself feel better is that the medium is only 3/4" wide, which I guess could be useful- I guess... Somehow. Can someone come up with any other rationales so I don't feel so bad?
Have Fun,
Bob
