The other day I'd cause to call Axminster; I'd bought a block plane from them (amongst other things) but unfortunately the delivery note read that the item was to follow.. No prob.. I'm in no hurry.. but by any chance, can you tell me how wide it is?? I'm making a tool cabinet, and while I can get its length online, I've no way to determine its width without actually measuring..
Well... it took a little while, transferred from sales to tech help, from there to the shop, but I eventually got 2 sizes... inch and three quarter or 41 mil... something didn't sound quite right so I did the calcs... inch and three quarter isn't 41 mil... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... OK it looks like I gotta wait...
This was Friday...
Yesterday morning there's an unexpected knock at the door... delivery from Axminster... huge box... I'm thinking huh....??? it's a little wee block plane.. why the huge box..??
Rummage rummage rummage, hauling out dozens of those air filled pillows... and sure enough, down in the bottom was a little wee box with a block plane inside... andddddddd...... a new Lie Nielsen calender, compliments of Axminster and apologies for the delay...
Now... that's what I call service...
Ohhh... the size..?? 44 mil... allow 45 to clear...
