Just a note, been a woodworker all my life, I prefer the planes from Lie-Nielsen [0]. Sure, the low angle jointer from LV has some interesting features, but I feel like the LN are just more well made. Also, Lie NIelsen is just a one guy owned company in Maine, so you are buying from a guy who has a foundry in the states, which is pretty cool.
On the other hand, the LV / Veritas bench vices are supposed to be top notch.
