    My favorite plane sizes are a 5 and 5 1/2 so I upgraded my Stanley planes to LN and LV planes. I have a LV BUJ and a LN 5 1/2 and use them for 80% of my hand plane task. Using a LV and/or LV plane is a pleasure regardless of what type you purchase.

    Find an old Stanley/Bailey #4 and use the tote and knob from them. Put the LN's tote and knob on the #4 and sell it.

    If you are in the PNW, PM me.

    I never even thought they would fit or work, I have a #3 with rosewood and a bunch of rosewood handles for others in a box going to try that! Thanks. I just never thought to try it but they may fit!
