This is exceptionally well done, thank you! You took care of a few questions I had and a few more I didn’t have yet. Thanks again;

I did not know about the plane tote templates- thank you for highlighting them. And thanks to Lee Valley for making them available. I'll get on to restoring both my #4 and #5 planes, as both totes are broken. Many thanks!!

How does one increase the size to a full-size so it can be copied on wood? Thanks for the information.

Great work, I need to do something to salvage my Bedrock #5 handle, she split along the grain, but it is the original rosewood so I don't really want to build a new one.

For sure! I bet you can dowel it or something to save it. Unfortunately there was no saving the tote on this one.

I just bought an old #8 Stanley with a broken tote. This video showed me how to make a new one. I never knew Lee Valley provided free schematics. Thanks!

great job, like how you showed your process and mistakes...those are the same type we all make and it's really helpful to see how you handle them (pun intended)!

@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 жыл бұрын

Haha! Great pun, I love it. Most of my mistakes come down to just stupid stuff like that, not thinking something through first.

yes, the order of operations is where I usually screw up when i'm rushing which is to say most of the time!

Nice project so far. I’m looking forward to the next video. Quick tip-you should put some wood planks on the inside of your vise. I have the same vise, and it holds much better if it’s compressed in between two pieces of wood; I used 1/2 in birch plywood scraps.

Your background music is to loud, but the tote looks good.

@pgfollett 6 жыл бұрын

Did you miss the part on the template that shows you how to orient the grain properly? Worth a mention in the video. It's important for strength.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 жыл бұрын

My alignment was off some so I could get two handles out of the same blank, but I'm confident it'll still be strong enough.

@pgfollett 6 жыл бұрын

It looked as if you had it nailed but thought it was worth mentioning. At the price of exotic woods, it's worth doing a little jiggle to get the best bang for the buck.

@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 жыл бұрын

Ah I getcha now! Yeah, I should have mentioned that, you’re right. It is a bit of key info.

@lajoyalobos2009 4 жыл бұрын

This was helpful. I bought a #4 plane for $5 and it's missing just the tote and knob. Time to clean it up and put that scrap wood to use.

I just checked and it looks like they redesigned their website and it's not there anymore, or at least doesn't come up in search.
