Hey everyone! I'm looking to buy the Veritas shooting plane and board, but I noticed their prices have shot up significantly lately—about $430 for the plane and around $290 for the board. Can anyone tell me what the prices were before the tariffs? I'm curious about how much of an increase I'm looking at. Wish I had jumped on this earlier!

It's not just the tariffs; they've been upgrading their production equipment recently due to some quality issues, which likely also contributed to the price hikes. So, while we might think it's mainly tariff-related, it could be more about their internal costs increasing overall.
You can check their official website for the current prices, but I know that last September the shooting board was around $259 and the plane was about $390. That means you're looking at an increase of roughly $70 now! If you're thinking of getting them, maybe it's worth pulling the trigger and supporting those Canadian makers!
Honestly, it might be a good idea to buy now. Prices could go up even more if tariffs increase further or if Veritas decides to raise prices again due to their production changes. Keep an eye on their prices weekly because this situation can change really quickly!
Thanks for the info! Seems like the price spike isn't too crazy after all.
