A Case for a Combo plane

[steven c newman]

Needed a case to store a second combo plane. got some 1/2" thick Pine boards, cobble some hand cut box joints, added some Gunstock stain, a couple coats of varnish and printed out some labels

An update...a box of cutters has arrived...

Question being...where to stash this...in the case?

Had no idea how much room the cutter holder would need...went more with how much room the plane itself would need..try this for size..

Like a glove....Then see how the plane fits in there as well...

A screwdriver, a beading stop, a pair of the long rods, the case of cutters ( a No.2 Box) and the fully assembled plane.....Like the case was made for it?


Older cases were either Pasteboard...some were sheet metal....while others were wood, with a sliding lid ( that usually got stuck, broke, or lost) None came with any handles.

Thanks for looking in...
