For sale - L-N 73 Shoulder Plane & L-N 66 Beading Plane

[Niall]

I bought these two planes new in November 2008 when I set up my workshop. In the sort of work I'm doing I have used the 73 a few times only (not so far needing to sharpen the blade at all, which worked "from the box"), and the 66 not at all.

Time to rationalise a bit because I want to raise the money for a secondhand tablesaw. Thought I could make do with a Festool TS55 and a large homemade jig, but it does not do all I need.

I've never sold anything on Ebay and would rather offer these first to the members of this fine website. Although I only contribute when I feel I have something useful to say - which isn't often - I read it almost every day and I'm grateful to those who do contribute more often.

The 73 is in mint / as new condition, and the 66 plus cutters mint. Say £150 for the 073 and £100 for the 66. Plus postage.

I have never posted pictures so if my first attempt fails please bear with me while I sort it out.

Edit: the urls for the pictures are correct - they work when copied and pasted into the browser address line, but I can't work out why they're not showing here.
Edit2: Aha - unchecked "Disable" buttons and seems to work

Edit

Removed the photo's as you now have them showing.

There you go. I don't know why they didn't work. I just copied and pasted them into a reply.

Nice planes, I was using my 73 tonight to clean up some tenon shoulders, superb quality and heft

Agreed, but just too big for me. The LV medium suits me better...but as always, each to his own :wink: - Rob

Both great tools. I use my beader a good bit a super way to dress up a bit of furniture.

PMs just sent to people who have expressed interest. Sorry for delay. First time I've had a chance to look at PC since earlier yesterday.
