RE: shoestring in a knot
I feel your pain. The Shoestring is a beautiful plane, but weak at the first former. Sorry for your loss and hope you get it fixed or replaced. They are a blast.

Sorry to see your day ended like that, I recently purchased a shoestring myself but have yet to put it together. Looking back, what would you do differently with respect to assembly, strengthening any parts of the plane, etc? Thanks in advance and by the way will you be getting another Shoestring?

Sorry for your loss.......BTW is that a Black and Decker Drill in the picture?
I inherited one that looks just like it. Its about 20 years old and going strong.
I guess it’s when they still made things too last, not deliberately manufacture
things too only last a year like today's hardware [:@].
