278630 | Old Lou <mill15716athollow@g...> | 2024‑07‑13 | Is there a doctor in the house or a tool restorer? |
Hello All, I have an old and rare wood working plane that has only half the tote, it is a thick piece of rosewood and unfortunately I do not have similar rosewood and my power tools are not accessible. Does anyone know of a good and reasonable tool restorer? As always, thank you all.

Hello, Birdsill Holly! Nice. A search on "Birdsill Holly Patented Jointer" will bring up images to use as a guide. Ex. https://www.jimbodetools.com/products/perfect-birdsill-holly- patent-1852-jointer-plane-excelsior-99332 I know people who fix cracked totes but no one making them from scratch. It seems making a new tote would be quick work for any of the many indie saw makers. Too sunny in Chantilly, Kevin |

It seems making a new tote would be quick work for any of the many indie saw makers. Its only quick work when someone else is doing it. lol Saw handles are not that quick. Some guys make it seem like it, but they aren't. I carve plane totes when I want. A meeting of the minds over what is expected and what is reasonable would need to be reached. Postage both ways is not going to be anything to overlook either. I am basically at the Pacific Ocean and Lou, aren't you in Florida as I recall? yours scott -- ******************************* Scott Grandstaff Box 409 Happy Camp, Ca 96039 scottg@s... http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/sgrandstaff/ http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/hpages/index.html |

I _think_ bugbear posted an image of a very similar handle at one point, and found a pic, but oocities is not responding at the moment, hence the extremely long urls that will hopefully work: https://www.google.com/imgres?q=closed%20plane%20tote%20patterns&imgurl=https%3A %2F%2Fwww.oocities.org%2Fplybench%2Fhandle_high.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww. oocities.org%2Fplybench%2Fhandle.html&docid=mVaaSW07idjm_M&tbnid=xatrd3hn168AFM& vet=12ahUKEwiphdCgvqSHAxU4FlkFHVGxC_cQM3oECG8QAA..i&w=550&h=714&hcb=2&ved=2ahUKE wiphdCgvqSHAxU4FlkFHVGxC_cQM3oECG8QAA and https://www.google.com/imgres?q=closed%20plane%20tote%20patterns&imgurl=https%3A %2F%2Fwww.oocities.org%2Fplybench%2Fhandle_high.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww. oocities.org%2Fplybench%2Fhandle.html&docid=mVaaSW07idjm_M&tbnid=xatrd3hn168AFM& vet=12ahUKEwiphdCgvqSHAxU4FlkFHVGxC_cQM3oECG8QAA..i&w=550&h=714&hcb=2&ved=2ahUKE wiphdCgvqSHAxU4FlkFHVGxC_cQM3oECG8QAA#imgrc=xatrd3hn168AFM&imgdii=E7qPCyaj_QNGEM There are a bunch of places telling you how to roll your own..
