   On woodnet they are always praising the glory of Clarence over at fine tool journal. I personally don't have any experience with him, but his posted prices are 10% cheaper than Lie Nielsen's posted prices and he offers to free ups shipping.

   Everytime I call them, they never have in stock what I need.  0 for 3, my last 3 purchases.  I end up going to my local woodcraft, they give me 10 percent off for being a frequent flyer (I've spent a TON there), and I don't have to worry about the shipping.  Buying local came in very handya month ago, as my new 4 1/2 York smoother had a problem with the milling process of the mouth.  It was on an angle to the plane body (crooked).  I called Tom in Palatine, and he even stayed open about 45 minutes late for me to drive there (1 hour), and replaced it for me on the spot. 

   I don't think you can beat service like that on the internet.

   It's funny you say that.  When I called Woodcraft back, I told them that I didn't need a skew smoother.  Tom over there got a pretty good kick out of that. LOL.  Thanks.

   I've purchased all my LN planes from Clarence at the fine tool journal.  Not only are his prices consistently lower than everyone else, he offers free shipping as well.

   Take a look at http://www.thebestthings.com.  Generally have very good prices.  Lower than msrp.  And, in my experience they have had great service.

   Charnwood,

   You can find the L-N planes 10% off at Woodshows and I have seen a few of them on sale at Woodcraft.  Woodcraft does have a 10% sale once or twice a year on everything in the store.  Other than that they seem to be the same price everywhere.  I have several and they are excellent.

   Charnwood,

   I saw the latest woodcraft flyer and it had the L-N block plane for $125.  That is a savings of $25.
