Here’s the end result of my adventures in hand plane tote making. I think I put maybe 3 hours total work into this project. I learned a few new things, indeed made a few mistakes, but the end result fits like a glove. I used an off cut of Curly Maple a friend of mine had laying around for this project. Mostly bandsaw and rasps for this one. Hope you enjoy.
I blogged my process on my LJ’s blog if anyone is interested in seeing my approach, and my mistakes. Cheers!

Sorry, I neglected to mention that it is made of Curly Maple. I haven’t decided on a finish for it yet. Possibly just some Shellac. I updated the description for the project to include this. Thanks for asking.

I just acquired a great piece of maple stock the right size for a front knob….Oh boy, a lathe project! I knew there was a reason I bought that lathe! I’ll update the projects/blog when I’m done.

Did you ever make that front knob ?
