I'm torn.
I want to buy a beautiful piece of heirloom tool that I am sure that it will be put to massive use, but it's pricey.
Bitcoin is now 10% off and 400€ worth of SATs are a nice stack.
What should I do? #asknostr
gm BTW ☀️

GM, what’s the tool?
this magnificent no 5 by Lie Nielsen 😍
Oh wow, those fancy planes are nice! Too rich for me though, I’ve just got a couple of vintage Stanley’s
me too! I wanted a nice no. 5 because I have a cheap Record from the 80s (I presume) that I restored and modified with new tote and knob, but it's far from being a good tool. adjustment's are finicky and it's quite uncomfortable.
But it's hard to justify 400€ on just a plane. unfortunately Woodcraft does not ship in Italy. yesterday I tried with their customer care to place an order but credit card won't collaborate 😂
so it's either the Lie Nielsen on my record 😑
Aren’t there any Stanley’s on eBay? There’s loads available in the uk, not sure if they’d ship to Italy. It is hard to make a cheap plane work well!
Yes plenty! That's where my focus is at right now. I miss restoring planes and every once in a while it's a project that I like to undertake.
But for once I wanted a premium 😁
Looks like I'm going to buy some paint and rust remover 😂😂
I’m torn about this stuff as well. But go for it. Especially If it’s something you’ll‘value’
