Llama 3765 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 so after a week or so ... whats your thoughts on this? Worth the wait/money? In short, yes. The fit and finish is spectacular. The ergonomics are fantastic. The adjustments are smooth and repeatable. I can truly find no fault with this plane. Worth it... That's a personal question... Quite honestly, the cost doesn't bother me. So, worth it to me, yes. It would be hard for me to say if it's worth it to someone else. What I can say for a fact is that if you have the means, don't hesitate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vinnyjojo 1442 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 He doesn't drive it, he just rubs it with a diaper. As expected... I saw Mel pull up next to a restaurant with outdoor seating...sitting there in neutral, just revving his new plane. What a dou@&e.! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Llama 3765 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 People have been messaging asking about the new plane... Figured I should just post something here...I still really like the plane. I haven't gotten to use it as much as I'd like to due to other projects I have to tackle at the moment. On the things I've needed it for, it really did a great job. Better than another tool? Maybe, maybe not... It makes me smile every time I see it... Hard to put a price on that! Well, BCTW put a price on it... You get the idea!In the end, it's really about supporting an American company that makes exceptional tools. And that's worth it for me.If anyone wants to try it out, feel free to stop by my shop (while I'm here) and you can use it or any other tools I have. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
