LN 164 tote & knob question

[Seth Poorman]

Hello Creekers
I have LN #4 and wanted a rosewood tote & knob for awhile ,and I just found one online ,but its for a LN 164 smoother and the guy whos selling it is not sure if it will fit my #4. Do any of you guys know if it will fit my #4??
Thanks Seth...

I'm not sure, but you could probably contact LN and they could supply you the definite answer. Give it a shot.

The tote on a 164 is taller than the #4.
As for the knob. The 164 has a wider base and is a little shorter than the #4.

There is a lot of information at this site on how to make handles. Best tip - drill the holes first, cut out the handle, and shape to suit. You may mess up a time or two, but think of the skills you will be able to use later.

Best wishes.

Or get a set from Greg Droz--he does beautiful work:

He made a set out of macassar ebony for my LN 4 1/2 smoother.

One other idea you might consider.

If you send the wood to LN they will make the tote end knob for you.
Give them a call and talk to Andrew.

Hi J.D.,
Thanks for the good words. I've been out of circulation for a while due to a divorce and having to sell the house and buy another.
Getting ready to start back up on a limited scale and then hope to get back up where I was.
Thanks Again,
Greg
