I spoke to LN this morning, and they promise to renew production of these planes “when the pandemic ends.” I asked when that might be, but a stony silence ensued. If you have a pair of these collecting dust, let me know. - David |

Saw one, thought they were neat, one of the least used tools in my shop. Much easier to tune up what’s going into it. -- Everything is a prototype thats why its one of a kind!! |

So, do you want to sell them? |

Unless you are set on L-N, there is a Wood River version (1 plane, 2 sides) that seems functional, lists for $89, and will ship in March. A quick check of ebay has Stanley 98’s & 99’s for $65-85… I use my no 79, but not going sell that. -- Mike (near Boston) ...

I’m set on LN, but thanks. |

I have the LN set, and they are one of the least used tools I have…..but, they’re worth their weight in gold when needed. Far easier to use than the Stanley single plane/2 blades (plus less blood tracks on my project). |

Yup. That’s why I want them. It looks like I’ll need patience, though. |

I don’t understand why they can’t make stuff during the pandemic. A few guys wearing masks in a 100 degree foundry casting bronze seems to be the least risky thing you can do right now. Yet walmart is safe? Lmao I did see a set a while back on Jim Bodes site but they sold pretty quickly. |

It could be they sold out because so many people are staying at home taking up hobbies. Guitars for example are selling like gangbusters. Anyway there’s a pair on ebay. Looks like they’re worth new new prices on the auction market. |

The LN price is $225 the pair. The current bid on eBay is $385 with three days to go. |
