Scraper plane by Galoot Scott Grandstaff
This plane is the result of a galoot collaboration. Scott
needed a little casting help. Click

body hogged out of 3" channel. That's a
replacement tote for a Stanley 85 made by
Paul Bordonaro (contact info on the
Electronic
Neanderthal).
Scott says:
Just to answer a few questions.....
It's inbetween the size of a #4 and a 4 1/2. I'm lazy. Pushing a
really wide plane ain't my style. It's all rosewood stuffing and yes,
the tote tilts waaaaaaaay over if you want.
Frog and lever cap patterns made by Scott.

I emailed him instructions and encouragement on how
to make the patterns.
Cool picture showing the patterns where the cast pieces will go!

a copy of the body being cast. The plane's body was used as a pattern
so I could cast more -
and so I could return the plane to Scott!
The plan is to use the aluminum copy as a pattern.
