Cool new dovetail tool from LV

I understand some people actually believed it.

Hi Vaughn -

Stu would (hopefully!) tell you that it translates as "short useless"

Thanks for the translation, Rob. I knew it had to have a meaning somewhere along those lines. And I like the fact the manufacturing starts with Virgin aircraft aluminum.

Yeah, there was a rumor going around to that effect.

I get a kick out of the fact that one of Lee Valley's April Fool tool ideas (the storyboard tape) actually ended up becoming part of their product lineup. The prank that backfired and became a product.

I sent the Google "GMail Motion" joke around to a few people at work yesterday, and one of our Computer Science instructors totally fell for it. And this was a person who had just pranked her own kids that morning (put chip bags in their lunches, but emptied out the chips and replaced them with carrots...)

I totally believed it. guess I'm kinda naive....

Nooooooooooooooooo....................Say it ain't so.

i was gonna get one for you!

Stopped by the power company to get a 5 gal. bucket of kilowatts, then hit the hardware store for a box of dovetails.......they're right next to the post holes. Also stopped at the garage and had the winter air removed from the tires and spring air put in.
