This is disappointing news in my view. My introduction to LN planes was via a local woodcraft store. In fact I would not have purchased my 1st (of many) LN planes had it not been for the woodcraft associate that talked me into it. Looking back on it, he was very knowledgeable and was an avid woodworker himself. Yes, the LN products are in a glass case, but they are easily removed (and tangible) within a few minutes of arrival at the store. I guess I will have to wait for a show or take a ride to the factory now to get my hands on whatever it is I am looking for from LN. Now goes the chance that I will be able to work with a new LN item the same day I purchased it, unless I go to the factory (even the LN tool shows do not stock all items). I will miss the woodcraft sales on LN planes and using my 10% b-day present on purchasing yet another LN product.
