If I had money to burn...ALL my stuff would be made by them just for the beauty of the engineering alone.
Thanks for that clip...very nice...not £169 nice but still...very nice

.............but justify it to themselves by saying they only want it because they appreciate the quality of the engineering.
So however well it might do its job, it's got little interest to those of us who enjoy our own ingenuity at making a beautiful object out of reclaimed wood from a skip, or like to rescue an old lump of rust and turn it back into a functional tool.

We might like to look, and agree that it is well done, but would never put it at the top of a shopping list - especially when you can find nice planes for a pound, and holdfasts for 50p!

People buy clothes "for status" - why not tools? It's simply human nature and the market speaking.

Pardon my ignorance. I've searched the Rutlands site, and can't see a Dakota honing jig that might have a support arm. Can you expand/post a link/photo?
