very neat SD, but I live in Hobart Tasmania.
I have concerns for rust from high humidity levels.
Are you doing anything to overcome this??

Nuthin` complicated at all--just plane simple

All of the chisels behind me can be used as replacement blades, because they are metric widths.

when my wife finds out about these I`ll need another pair!

these even accept the original Derek Cohen blade angle adjustment and can be used as a scraping plane!

Now let`s see if Ryobi are interested in a version.

Dear mkarafa, I will try to put this as politely as possible.
PLEASE wait your turn in the ever-lengthening queue for a GOOD Stanley #1.

Derek, there is no point in you trying to hide your hyperactivity! We all know about it-admire it and are quite envious of your inexhaustible fountain of energy.

I sympathise with you about your son`s disinterest in the wonders of wood as I am in the same position with my son who turns 24 today. In all other ways we have similar interests but I can`t get thru there.
Wouldn`t do if we were all the same , which is why some of us older and slower ones appreciate all of your work and the care with which you present it to us on sites like this and other forums.

Aahh Derek, clearly fortune favours the famous---and well informed.
Congrats on the deal----Ron B in Hobart.

If it is a cordless tool battery that has died, or ecen a cheaper cordless tool I have the battery re-built with new cells. Then I can keep using the old tool I know and don`t have to worry about all that extra packaging that comes with a new tool.
