Custom Hand Plane Totes – Fits Stanley No. 5, 5 1/2, 6, 7, & 8

Hey everyone,

I recently needed to replace a tote on a hand plane and, in the process, refined the design through six iterations to create the most comfortable shape possible. The final design is inspired by a classic rosewood Bedrock tote, with a few thoughtful improvements: • More Pinky Room – The lower front is cut slightly deeper for better grip. • Enhanced Comfort – The upper back is raised slightly for improved ergonomics. • Extended Horn – The horn is extra long to fully support your thumb webbing without poking you. Prefer the standard length? It can be easily shaved down to your liking.
