Project Information
this is a project inspired by LBD or little black duck.now i dont have the high tech shop with cnc,lasers and 3d printers he has so i had to rely on mere mortals tools to do mine-lol.i wanted a box to keep my veritas router plane and all the accessories together so when i saw duckie's i knew that was it.the box is made from scraps of maple,bubinga and mahogany.corners are box jointed.i made the box then band sawed the top off.the finish is my go to maloof oil.im not big into putting tools into boxes but some like this with accessories just need it.so why not make it a nice one.

Nice storage Pottz! Mine is unceremoniously hung on the tool wall.

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Excellent pottz!  My router plane hangs on my till but I've been needing to move it off so I can put some block planes on the till in that spot.  I also have a few other combination/rabbet/fillister planes that need some better housing than the drawers in which they currently reside...  Good food for though!
That looks great, pottz! From the few Veritas tools I've seen, they're worthy of upgraded storage.
hey nothing wrong with hanging above the plane till,easy access when you need it.

Ron, my experience with the Veritas tools has been top notch. Big fan of the PMV11 steel too. 👍🏼

I’ve got a couple of their saws, that router plane and blades, their #4 1/2 bench plane, plus some other odds and ends. Not cheap, but I feel they’re solid ‘old world’ products made with the best current technologies.

Nice box. Doesn’t look plane to me. Looks pretty sweet! 😉

The early bird gets the worm but its the second mouse that gets the cheese.

They’re blades. They’re being stored upside down. They look more like this when right side up…

Don’t be embarrassed! I blame Pottz for placing them upside down 😜

Thank for the "plug" pottzy... a tad better than the lead ones you normally fire at me.  I think I told you you did a great job originally and your photography hasn't let you down again this time.

I do a lot of laser work... cause I'm bloody lazy and having a laser also tends to help... However, this just goes to prove that most of my projects are withing the scope of mere mortal tools.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
