WANT TO BUY: Lie Nielsen Small Tongue/Groove Plane # 49

[Philip1231]

Looking to buy the small LN #49 Tongue and Groove plane: let me know if you're looking to get rid of one. Thank

[Yodascaretaker]

Those things are selling for $750 on eBay. This is the worst time of the year to buy that stuff.

Do yourself a favor and buy a Veritas Plow Plane and get the tongue and groove attachments.

I think you are correct: this has to be the worst time to be buying LN. Its a crazy market out there. But I will say, it is a great time to be selling, if you have something to sell. I am not desperate for the 49 as I have a 48. I am not one to reach (too far) for a particular item: your warning is heeded.

I must say the 49 is nice; I picked one up used about 7 years ago, but not interested in selling. Philip you'll have to wait for my estate sale!! :-)

[Mike Brady]

Is it still an estate sale if you can attend your own?  Do people ever sell their stuff before they kick off?  I have considered  assembling a group of "core tools" to keep, as Lie-Nielsen calls them, and offering the rest as a sale lot to just one buyer, or reseller.  Do I have that plane Phillip is looking for?  You bet!

[Philip1231]

You guys are killin me here: just bad timing on my part. I am in the process of building a bed: another large project. While I work on one project, I am thinking about the next one. I have decided that I'd like to scale it down a bit and make some sort of small case piece, with T&G back, hence my interest in the 49. I've been pretty lucky at finding tools that I need when I need them: we shall see.

Mike: I've bought and sold many LN collections over the years: always looking to do a deal


Admiral: I can't wait that long!

Hey Phil, would you consider a wooden t&g? Red Rose is finishing some in different sizes right now. I have a very nice Stanley 48 and am still planning to get a 1/2” and perhaps 3/4” from Dan. His planes are very nice, among the best available today. Just a thought, although wooden planes represent the proverbial slippery slope!

Take care and have a great holiday.

Kevin: Wait: planes made of wood you say? Interesting concept. Who knew there would be so many ways to spend obscene amounts of money in such a humble hobby? I will be exploring this: Thanks! Phil

Still looking? Don't be shy: make me an offer.
