Jim,
Thanks! That gives me enough info to reproduce one! Very much appreciated!
Best I post photos when I get one done up!

JTK,
Thanks very much! Sorry I didn't respond earlier - I was away yesterday.
JTK, sorry to be a bother, but how wide are the bosses and the narrowest parts of the handles?
Is there any chance...
Thanks JTK!
And yes I do visit those forums. I thought I'd double my chances of getting an answer by asking here as well. I was trying to conceal my accent while typing, but you've caught me out!...
Hi Everyone!,
Can anyone give me the measurements for the handle of a Stanley #12? I have recently purchased one off eBay, minus the handle and was looking at getting one made out of silky oak.

It gets even better, my neighbour's little boy saw it this morning and asked if I'd make him one. Great neighbour, polite little boy - how could I say no? :)
Looks like I found a stocking filler for...
I've been off work, recovering from surgery for a couple of weeks. I was feeling better yesterday, and my 5 year old son asked if we could go out to the shed and make a toy plane.
Here's the...
That is truly stunning work! Great work!

That is an very nice cabinet. Very inspirational.
Thanks!
I've admired the Veritas plane for some time, but just purchased a 289 for a price slightly less than the Veritas. In order to preserve the original blade and nickers, I have been sourcing...
Great news! I got in touch with him and am in the process of putting together an order :)
Thanks for the terrific advice everyone.
Craig
I'd love to do that, but phoning from Australia is expensive and I have the 'flu at the moment and really can't talk a lot. Looks like I may have no choice but to try calling and wheeze through an...
I've been trying to email St James Bay Tool Co., but I keep getting error messages. I don't have that issue with any other addresses I use. Anyone know if there is a problem with their site?

Hi Everyone!
Sorry to ressurect this thread, if it isn't considered appropriate.
I am in the process of receiving a Stanley 289, that needs a little work. Does anyone know of an online source...
Heck,
I'd be happy just for a picture or two of the insides of one of the 45 boxes, if possible.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
I've picked up a L-N Butt-Mortise Plane and for the life of me can't find where it suggests the best angle for sharpening the blade.
I can't see it in the instructions or on the web...
Rob,
For us users of Metric, have you guys considered offering a deal for an all-metric kit, as you do for the Imperial sets of blades?
Thanks,

Blast!
I just purchased a Montgomery Ward 45, because I couldn't wait any longer for the upgrade to the Veritas Small Plow Plane! Looks like I'll be saving up again :)

Thanks for posting all this info on the Stanley 45's. I recently picked up a Montgomery Ward version of the 45 and love it, but have yet to master it's use. I can do the beading okay, but not yet as...
Gents,
I am after the dimensions for a Stanley 45 (or Record 405 etc) box that I can build to house my Montgomery Ward (Monkey Ward) version in.
Does anyone have a box and a tape measure they can...
That's a nice set up. I like the storage idea for the scary sharp system too :)
