This is for the better of L-N. The article makes a EXCELLENT point about the tools being locked behind a glass case. My experience at my local woodcraft in Manchester, CT has been horrible. On the four occasions I have made the hour+ drive the staff has been unhelpful and just short of rude. I tried to buy a L-N block plane. The sales person pointed me toward the cheaper brands. He said I didn't need that expensive a tool and was quite smug about it. As I stood in front of the locked glass case, holding the Wood RIver pl;ane in my hand, I told the sales person I would like to compare it wuth the L-N. Sales person responded "I would have to find the key" and stood there looking at me. It was clear he was not going to show me or sell me the L-N. I needed a plane now so I bought the Wood River.

I'll never set foot in another Woodcraft again. BRAVO Lie-Nielsen! You have made the right choice.
