latest must have tool!

great April Fool Joke....this is a classic!!! ....when I worked for
Shopsmith one of the tool designers sent a fax to all the stores
telling about the new Shopsmith key making machine that would be used
on the Mark V. Even had part numbers and pricing. I believe he got
several orders for the machines until they realized it was an April
Fool Joke!

I went to look, got hooked, and ended up with yet another $53.30
order. I put special instructions on it, too. "Make Rob personally
hand-pack this order." That'll teach him to sucker me in like that,
huh?

Since I didn't get to read this until the 5th I never noticed the date it
was sent. I really really was all set to order when I got to the bottom of
the page then found out. Spent twenty minutes crying in my beer. Now I guess
I have to go out and get a tatoo on my forehead that says

The thing is, Veritas makes so many gadgets it was almost believable.

Excellent!!

Make sure you get one of those with the High Angle Blade option, for
working with gnarly woods.

I'd be happy if they would actually make a smaller one of these, even with
less capability.
It's a good basic idea, just too big, and not real.

That just goes to show you that when it comes to quality,
"everything" Lee Valley does is dipped in it.

That one got a couple extra dippings.

UA100, who is also hoping it wasn't PhotoShop'd...

Indeed. Had me going for most of it til I saw the "Happy April 1" at
the end, and the lack of a price.

Quality job though, to make their little bit of fun believeable.

I sure hope that's not just Photoshop - talk about a collector's piece.
