Another interesting side note - last time I contacted Lee Valley
with a question on this MK.II honing guide, I was wondering whether
this could be used for skew chisels. Answer: not easily. A couple
months later,
I get a catalog with a brand new product - a skew chisel
registration
jig for the MK.II! That's a great company - not only does customer
service communicate with other departments, but they actually do
something in response to customer feedback!
Keep it up, Robin!
The skew registration jig works well.

LV will also be releasing shortly a new lower assembly with a cambered
roller. Makes plane blades with a camber much easier to hone.

And I second the "Keep it up, Rob" sentiment. Like plow
planes, the high carbon replacement blades, and ...

Take care, Mike
