We are fortunate in having many satisfied customers, who take the time to write appreciative e-mails. The following is a recent example -
From Mr. D. H., Chicago, Illinois, USA
"Greetings Peter:
I am very happy to report that the shoulder plane* arrived last
Friday as you had hoped. This is a beautiful plane, and exceeded
my expectations based on the photograph. The iron is very sharp
(you have very similar sharpining
standards to me!) and I put it through its paces in my shop and
it performed flawlessly. This is certainly one of the very few
tools I have purchased where the sole of the plane was in perfect
conditon and needed no lapping
prior to use. Many thanks for your help in this matter and I will
enjoy this plane for many years to come!
Very Best Regards,
D. H."
