Ping: Rob Lee
Seems like only yesterday - but was probably a year or two ago - that
I urged use of stainless steel in LV planes and you indicated that stainless was an unsuitable material... For a week now I've been drooling all over the front cover of my April LV catalog admiring - of all things - a beautiful stainless steel plane made by someone other than Lee Valley! Is this an indication that you've re-considered the suitability of stainless steel - or are you just tantalizing us? -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/solar.html |

One never says never.... but I can say "not soon". Don't try to nail down "not soon" though....  Cheers - Rob |
