When I made my lefty plow plane I probably spent twice as much time on
the enclosed tote as I did on the rest of the plane.  Enclosed totes
win plenty of coolness points with me, but I probably won't do it again.
The open tote (let into a groove) on my panel raiser took about 1/4 the
time.  Of course, my carving skills are close to nil which had a lot to
do with how long the enclosed tote took.
