PMs exchanged. A nice new guy. PayPal sent too.

Welcome him to Woodnet.

I think this package may have been stranded in the Suez Canal for a while, but after twelve days in the possession of the USPS, it finally arrived.

The plane is exactly as pictured. Everything moves as it should. It was pleasure doing business with Mr. Chips.

I just watched St Roy's show on this very plane.  Worth a view if you have 30 mins.  Found on youtube.

Is that the show where he compared wood and metal moulding planes?

Didn't he call these metal combo planes, "soulless?"

[stav]

Yes, that is the one.  He did call them that but he also agreed they did the job just as well.
