I've made a few plane totes. Drilling that hole is what I'd call the trickiest part of making a tote. So I always drill the hole first then lay the tote out to the hole. Which makes the whole build go a lot easier.
Thank you for taking time to write and thanks for watching! Someone asked if I follow a script and I prefer to just “wing it”. I know I get long-winded or redundant at times but that’s me. 🥴. Thanks again!
I would love to see a similar made one with two types of wood with a vernier inlay in the grooves for a third element of color . 🤔 You've given me a good idea . Great score on that tote and thanks for the great video .
Cool video! If you find out more about these 2 piece totes please share! I have one on my #5 and I’ve spoke to several people with significant collections that have never seen them. It’s pretty fascinating
@@gordonaddison307 No I didn't. Mine is really dirty and warped from moisture. It's still attached at the base but is coming apart on the top. I should see if I can get it apart.
Great video! You don't ever need to apologize to us. We love and share your passion. I think it would be cool to make a two-part handle in anything other than Brazilian rosewood, I'd never waste such a rare wood. As you mentioned having a flat surface allows for more accuracy and improved methodology. What is the spacing of the finger joints in mms? 10.7 mm? (.421 inches?)
Thank you for watching and yes, I am working on an introductory template set (3pcs) and will be making them available. Stay tuned for the product release or email me direct lovesa45@gmail.com
Awesome video! You said the templates are made from original stanley drawings, can you share those drawings or let us know where we can find those drawings? Thank you!
Thank you for watching. I had the privilege of visiting Stanley B&D in New Britain CT last year and I was allowed to spend time with many historical items such as plane handles and supporting documents. I was able to view original vellum drawings and much of the information comes from that visit. I also have purchased (via auction sites) original Stanley rosewood handles (new, in the box) which also serve as an excellent dimensional references.
Thanks for watching! The templates are something I’ve created along the way and they’re now being produced in batches, so YES!!! They’re available for purchase. Email me at lovesa45@gmail.com for details.
No kidding! I consider myself quite fortunate to hold this, and as stated I do intend to share it as often as I can. It takes me back to the era of The Visible Man plastic model where you could see inside…..🤣. Thank you for watching!
VERY cool video, Gordon! Two things: 1: The German plane maker ECE uses the same technique to laminate the Lignum Vitae or Hornbeam soles on its line of planes (I’ve seen it with squared corners-like your tote-and more of a wave pattern w/rounded corners). I bought an ECE Primus Reform smoother in the 80s; that was the first time I saw this type of joint used to face-join wood. They cut it diagonally, so all four sides of the joint show that crenelated pattern. Very cool! 2: The mention of the Visible Man model reminded me I still have an unassembled Visible Cow model that I’ve been hoarding, also bought in the 80s. Someday, I want to turn that thing into a lamp!
Thank you for writing and thanks for watching! The templates are a unique product that I have made to an exacting specification. They have numerous advantages, they’re durable and meant to be used over and over, and there’s more to the template “family” or “set” than you see in the video. All said, we are about to release detailed information about about the Addison template sets in the very near future. (they’re available for sale individually or as a set) Thanks for asking! 👍
Thanks for watching and yes, the template sets are being produced and will be sold individually, or a starter set of Stanley 3/4/5. A few others are being finalized and of course we’ll add various templates to the menu. Email me direct for more info. Lovesa45@gmail.com
Well thanks for watching and thank you for the fun comment. This is a Brazilian rosewood handle made by the Stanley company (New Britain CT) over 100 years ago. The handle belongs on a woodworking “hand plane”.
Hello, I am looking for a competent tool restorer to make a rosewood tote for a Birdsill Holly patented jointer. Any information you could render on such a person would be much appreciated. Thank you, Lou

Just fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Love your straightforward presentation style too.

So flipping cool. Man I love that. I would love to make it out to your place sometime and do a collaboration
Lets set it up! So many fun things we could do!
What a neat piece of history!
I agree!!
It is really very cool! Just enjoy it and treat it a lot of respect!
Thank you for watching and trust me, I’ll take care of this one. 👍

Thanks for watching and I sure do want to see your multi-species tote when you’re done!!!
Cool video! If you find out more about these 2 piece totes please share! I have one on my #5 and I’ve spoke to several people with significant collections that have never seen them. It’s pretty fascinating
I sure will! Thank you for watching👍
I have a two-piece tote from a type 13 that came apart the same way. Cool stuff!
Did you glue it back together? I see no evidence of adhesive on this one.
@@gordonaddison307 No I didn't. Mine is really dirty and warped from moisture. It's still attached at the base but is coming apart on the top. I should see if I can get it apart.
That is really cool. I saw that Facebook conversation and I was hoping to see a video on the Y'allTubes about it.
I figured a few of you would put the story together… I’m very fortunate to a part of a great woodworking community.
@@gordonaddison307 , if not for the woodworking and hand tool groups, I probably wouldn't use Facebook much anymore. It's a great bunch of people.

Thank you for watching and what a great question! I did not measure the spacing but when I get home today you know I will! 👍
Amazing toat…never seen one before. Thanks Gordon for sharing! I really like the templates as well. Any opportunity to procure a set?

So many mysteries in the tool world and many will likely stay that way.
There’s a lot truth in that statement. Sometime we think we know… thanks for watching!
Very cool! Where did you get the templates? Are they for sale?
Thanks for watching! The templates are something I’ve created along the way and they’re now being produced in batches, so YES!!! They’re available for purchase. Email me at lovesa45@gmail.com for details.
That is just too cool. I would love to run up on one of those someday. Thanks for sharing.

@@TheMrchuck2000 thank you for sharing and appreciate you taking time to write. Visible cow?!?!? That sounds like fun! 🤣
I wouldn't. Seems like a bit of a ripoff to me. I like a solid wood tote. But leave it to Stanley to be a little shady.
Gordan your templates are really cool and well made. I bet people ask for them all the time. P.S. are these off the Lee Valley templates?

I am with you so very cool.
Thank you for watching!
Do you sell those templates? Also, do you have them for each size and type? And finally, do you have knob templates too?

I found one on a type 11 no 5 1/2!
Sweet! Cherish that one, it sounds like a keeper.
I have absolutely no idea what this thing does and why this video came up in my feed...😂

Great joke at the beginning.
