I'm a Woodworker and years ago decided my No4 handle was not right, so made one.....from birch plywood, a split mould ! Had to saw two v grooves, to take the threaded rod, glued the pattern and then shaped the finished shape, creating a fatter right handed tote. It's still in use, and better than the plastic original. Enjoy all of your videos. Thankyou.

Someone has probably already covered this in an earlier comment, but YT makes it too hard to check so here it is again (from Patrick's Blood and Gore) "Sometimes, you'll find a plane with a hard rubber tote with "B of E" embossed on each side. These were sold by Stanley to school systems as replacement totes for the poor planes that suffered the onslaught of destruction as wrought by the punks of yesteryear. "B of E" stands for Board of Education. These replacement totes were offered during the 1910's-1920's, when they were replaced with aluminum totes during the early 1930's. The replacement totes are most often found on the jack planes since they were the commonly used planes in the school systems across the USofA." The same site also mentions they used stained hardwood instead of rosewood during the war and from the mid 1950's onward.

This one was fun, Mr Pete! Definitely a challenge easily helped by 3d printing if we don't have someone skilled in patternmaking (such as yourself) to hand, another skill that will fall by the wayside as time passes... :( The problem with unsustainable material usage continues to be a difficulty for manufacturers. Many things can use synthetic substitute materials without any real impact on function. The musical instrument industry is hurting, though. It's great to make a student recorder out of plastic, it's cheap and easy to repeatably make something usable, but once the student is any good they will want something that sounds nice. Things like guitars and violins rely on decent (tone)woods like rosewood, and it's getting much more difficult to source them.

At 08:00 if you take the handle and put It on a rotary table, the 3d image from camera data would be modeled into a STL file for someone to 3d print. Just a thought.

It would be easy to use one of the aluminum totes as a loose pattern. For easy ramming, make a wood or styrofoam follower. To make the follower, take a sheet of the follower stock bigger than your flask's face, half the thickness of the pattern. Trace the outline of the pattern on it, then cut it out. Perfection not needed, pretty close is close enough. To use, lay the pattern in its matching cutout and ram one side; flip the flask and pull off the follower. Any sand beyond the pattern's parting plane will be quite thin and right next to a well defined surface, just trim it off with a spoon-slick. Ram the second side to the first. Yes, you'll want to add core prints to the pattern, and if the core prints are frail, you'll want to adjust the follower to support the prints, but the principle remains the same.

I've had to repair the tote on all but two of my Stanley planes, most of which I inherited from my Grandfather. Grandpa Charlie was a carpenter back when , if you needed a 2x4 or other 2x lumber you would cut them down using a hand ripping saw from a larger piece of 2x lumber. I was really pissed off when I found out that the threads were not standard and I had to go up in size and re-tap to a 5/16" thread. Do you think Stanley did that to prevent folks from repairing their tools, so that they would have to purchase a new plane from Stanley? Great video Lyle, thumbs up.

Actually I use my hand planes quite a bit. Less noise and dust using a handplane, nicer finish too on wood. Sometimes it's just quicker and easier to reach for a hand tool to do one job. Example to cut down long stock I use a handsaw"not pull saw those are stupid and useless" takes me less time to cut by hand than it would to set it up in a chop saw or get out the skilsaw. For handplanes getting a curved bevelled edge on a long piece of wood to fit it's just quicker and easier to just hand plane it. But my personal opinion is that any woodworker should start off with handtools. Going direct to power tools or worse Cnc is wasteful.

I took autoshop instead of wood shop back in the 80s. My new found love of old wood planes stems from a really rusty old plane with beautiful rosewood tote. I have collected a few since that one, I always look for good original rosewood. The rest of those things are pretty bullet proof. Aluminum would not interest me for this tool. I work on aircraft, aluminum is what I do daily.

He makes the experimental form from "good wood" and it turns out to be "particle board" as was the Menard purchase. Ron W4BIN

School age children can destroy an anvil, I know....i was one....destroyed my share of stuff. We always learn something, like a good way to make a small diameter core.

Aluminum is a somewhat soft metal but one cant use a plane on it...
