I simply had to tell you all about the wonderful 50th birthday gift from my lovely wife Michele. I was totally surprised; had no clue it was coming. It is a Lie-Nielsen #6 bench plane!:)
After a few strokes on the 8000 water stone, I was making the most beautiful shavings.
What a woman!

She is paying attention ! By the way I have the most wonderfullest. But she would no more purchase a tool for me than walk to town on her hands.
She knows better than to even contemplate buying a tool for me even when I have said exactly the one I want. She just knows there would be some glitch or hitch. She is right. Her mind does not get tools.
But that is OK. She does food and oil painting like a goddess
Glad you got the fine gift !
