The Lie-Nielsen 60-1/2 low angle block plane.

and

Bandsaw- Grizzly 0555 with mobile base and block riser

Going to have to make and sell something to pay for some of this

Man, those look expensive. *sigh* why do hobbies have to drain the funds?

Color me jealous.

Still trying to figure out dust collection for my Jet bandsaw that doesn't have any DC ports or adapters:|

Too bad you are half way across the country PM. I can think of a few projects that would make Norm Abrams sit up and take notice.

That block plane looks awesome. My $9.00, rusted Stanley has been doing an OK job - but, I feel that I need something better.

Yeah, but these days good planes are expensive. Veritas makes a great one as well, and the old Stanleys are also terrific as are Records. One can sometimes find old planes on Ebay that just need a little tuning to be exceptional. Today I am afraid they are lacking.

Nice thing about the plane is that it will be just as good the day I die as the day I bought it with just a little care. Not many things made today are that way. Electronics are junk in 10 years, but a good tool is a pleasure for ages.

I was just looking @ one of my closet doors thinking how nice it'd be to build real wood doors to replace them

From the block plane ad:

Feature sturdy ductile cast iron bodies...

Isn't that an oxymoron?
