We live in a truly great country. When I say that, I'm not referring to the freedoms and rights guaranteed by the constitution. Of course those things are sacred and have made our country's grand experiment so successful. But I'm talking about a place where people who need a better tool simply go out and build it. It's this history of innovation as it relates to hand planes that makes the 2010 calender produced by Roger K. Smith so appealing.

Every month shows a new and problem-solving plane, some you've probably never seen before. I can't imgaine a better holiday gift for a woodworker you know—like yourself.
