ChetlovesMer Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 This is probably the finest smoother I've ever used. But unfortunately for me, it doesn't fit my hand as well as the LV smoother I have. So, I've debated parting with this plane for sometime. 90% of the time, I use this plane for photographs of my shop or put it in the background of my projects. When my wife takes photos I put it in there because its so appealing visually. Anyway, I got this plane with the slight ding on the edge of it. It could probably be honed out, but I never have because it doesn't affect the performance of the plane at all. But I also know I can't get full price for it. It has been mostly kept in the box it's whole life and used very sparingly. It's a great plane so I'd like to get it to somebody who will get some use out of it. I'm asking $225.00 for it plus shipping, which is less than 2/3rd's it's original price. The blade has been sharpened only once, and there may be just a bit of paraffin wax on the sole. (I like to paraffin wax on the soles of all my bench planes.) So, if you want to get a great plane at a steal of a price. Let me know. Either IM me, or respond to this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Very nice offering! This won't be here for long! I'd be all over it if I wasn't a low angle guy! Heck, still might pick this one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G S Haydon Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 How much to the UK Chet, no pressure to send, sending it across the ocean is a big ask (and most likely expensive!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Graham, I answered you via IM but I thought I'd throw it down here as well for others who may be interested. The best shipping I could find would be with the US post office, at about $79.00 USD to get it across the pond. However, after nobody responded to this post for a few days I actually posted this on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lie-Nielsen-4-bronze-smoother-Bench-Plane-/181291437073?hash=item2a35cfcc11 Sorry, I moved this to ebay, but nobody respond for a couple of days and I figured I'd ebay it.
