I've nearly filled my drawers...lots of pics as usual...
Well, at least one of them. :D
Howdy everyone,
Stole a little shoptime today to arrange the plane drawer a bit. I also got 2 more ebayers in the mail today. A super nice type 18 #6 in the box (gave box to wifey for her collection) and a type 16 #3 also near mint. The LV LA block came a couple of days ago. Here they are with Robin's #4 and #5. The group takes a pretty nice picture. :)

Matthew Dworman showed me a pic of his storage. I really liked the simple clean look of it and I have transfered much the same thing into my newly dubbed "plane drawer". Everything is just laying in the drawer for now. I'll screw the dividers to the base when I get the rest of the goodies in there and arrranged just right.

I know, I know...the Record looks like a step child amounst these Stanley's. :D
I have a couple more coming...yet another near mint #5 from the bay and the LV LA Jack (HA blade is already in the drawer) so those account for the holes with no occupants. I made some rabbeted blocks to hold my LV 24" straight edge on the rear of the drawer itself.
I decided to store my bench accessories in this drawer also as one kinda leads to the other.

I cut some little spacers for the heels of the #3 and #4 so the totes would not be against the divider.

The #6 barely fits in this drawer so I guess I'll never need a #7 or #8...lol...ya right!! I notched the front divider to fit the toe.

Anyhow, pardon my newbie excitement again but this plane deal is pretty cool. Where is the bottom of this darn slope anyway??? :eek: I think I'm about to find it, for a while at least. I had saved money to buy a PM stationary mortiser but I seem to have blown it all on planes and such like Neander stuff. :) I have a bench top Delta mortiser anyway so I think I'd rather have the planes.
Ya'll have a Merry Christmas!!!

Where does the slope stop?
Terry,
You're just getting started, we haven't got you going with Stanley Everlasting chisels, and Diston Saws yet. LOL. Meantime you've got to teach yourself how to do handcut dovetails, both thru and half blind. Then it gets serious......
