Wanted Rear tote for No. 5 1/2

[AESamuel]

Hi,

I'm restoring a Stanley style "Woden" branded no. 5 1/2 and the rear tote is unsalvageable. Does anyone have a rear tote that might fit? The base of the tote is 85mm long.

Thanks!

Can you post a pic of the part you are looking for

I have a spare tote off a Stanley plane, not sure how well it would fit, you can have it for P&P

I'll measure it tomorrow

Lee Valley have plans for the Stanley totes that you could use as a basis to make one for your plane. Like the plans say check your plane's measurements for hole sizes and locations.

Is there enough meat on the old tote to cut it in half lengthwise on the bandsaw or the like. Then you can use one half as a template for cutting a fresh blank for shaping. You might be lucky and be able to mark out the holes for the screws from it too. I found it easier to mark out and drill these when the blank was still square and not cut to shape.
I did this for a Woden 4.5 and 5.5 a couple of years ago, still going strong now!
