There might even be some bonus donations to TX Relief and WB from the rest of us if Mike's package is well enough wrapped.

I assure you it received a royal treatment. When he gets it, he won’t open it when he sees my name on it, and he will put it on the side under the “Arn” pile. He won’t tear into that pile until he retire’s 11-10 months from now, opening one a day for 365 days, similar to X-Mas advent calendar unboxing. He will have a muddy dark brew while he is at it and he will be playing in the loud speakers “Working 9 to 5” by Dolly just to torture us working folks”. He will get the last laugh.

We love more donations to go to :texas:……..I had @Tony post the package, but it was 2-D front shot for @Mike Hill. Now, he didn’t see this. I had to scribble to “protect the innocent”, otherwise this cowboy knows where I live and I don’t want to see an angry Li’l Mikey. I made this padded flat rate envelope go from bantam weight to heavy weight. Gave it some calories and fatten it up. It ended up 3” thick. It is warm and comfy.

I can’t promise you as time passes when he does get into opening this package. If he waits a long time and not remember that it was a hand plane (or “plain” as he puts it”) he will say, “WTF did I buy an ice shaver for”?

Let’s keep going shall we! This is one that has evaded me and finally after a couple of years, this surfaced and it was meant to be. Outside of the functional artistry, the Japanese white oak on this is superb. I am including a close-up photo. It has a very thick sizable 70mm blade. This is a sizable smoothing plane and a must have on your tool chest/bench. This Japanese smoothing plane can make very thin “onion peel, ribbon shavings” as you pull it towards you. This converted into the world of hand forged Japanese steel for woodworking and guitar building- it’s whole different experience that lend itself to more of an effortless state of being. This is a fine functional tool that is also a work of art that will last you past your lifetime and passed on to the next generation.

Telll your friend Henry, I will guarantee it, BUT it will depend on the operator’s health. Meaning you have to keep up with it regardless if you are in your 70’s or nearing that. I’ll give @Mike1950 a pass. He can use any metal and make it behave like a samurai sword.

If your friend “Henry” takes it, I’ll throw something in that will make pretty better than pretty- but with the condition that he will need to share that with “Mrs. Henry Hill” and it gets used for special occasion. That pretty piece when I say pretty- it is “purdy”.

That's outta my league - I have a hard time using carborundum!!

Actually I a few years back opted for japanese synthetic ceramics for kitchen knife use. Diamonds for the rest, except recently went to a combination of diamond and carborundum.
