Tax included
Storage box for the Stanley No. 45 combination plane. Manufactured from 1884 to 1962, the plane is still widely used, mainly because its interchangeable blades allow grooving, rabbeting, dadoing, tongue and groove work, mouldings, nosing, reeding and fluting.
Storage box for the Stanley No. 45 combination plane. Manufactured from 1884 to 1962, the plane is still widely used, mainly because its interchangeable blades allow grooving, rabbeting, dadoing, tongue and groove work, mouldings, nosing, reeding and fluting. Far fewer of the original boxes have survived. This case holds the plane and a full set of blades and accessories, keeping everything organised, accessible and portable.
It is made from sturdy 9 mm Baltic birch plywood with precisely milled dado joints and a clear acrylic sliding lid. The plane sits in the main compartment, with slotted rails along the walls for a full set of standard straight, beading, match and sash blades, while a shelf holds the fence, guide rods and cam rests.
Measures 8" × 12" × 8" tall. Made in Canada. Assembly hardware included. Several other makers produced blades for the No. 45 that don't match the original Stanley sizes, so instructions are included for modifying the blade slots without damaging the box.

Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
Low-angle jack planes such as the Lie-Nielsen No. 62 and the Veritas low-angle jack are also popular all-round planes. A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
