Good deal! Now you need to build a replica box for it-never mind I've been going to do that for years

It has been a while since I remember seeing a competition here.
How about seeing how many WNers can get their boxes built for their #45/#55 this year?
Perhaps we could find a prize for whoever builds the best one (by popular acclimation or by dome judging panel TBD).

Hmmm..
been done for a while..
care for a look inside?
Stanley No. 45, Type 4...
It only has one box of cutters, right now..
This will give some out there an idea..or two...
As long as I leave the short rods in place....plane will sit down in the box as is....no need to tear it down...
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

$40 later it followed me home! The 1914 Stanley Catalog says it came with 21 cutters (which this has) but I need to clean it up & verify the styles. I'm trying to find out anything I can about this, if I'm missing anything, date of manufacture, type, etc. ![[Image: 222771776_10216354929304216_470398324558...e=6129488E]](https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/222771776_10216354929304216_470398324558512486_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=Jhbh9NNOnYsAX-LqrQu&tn=rsM4Vgh0TlUrnbLM&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=344818e3553d67a85a900ba03052532d&oe=6129488E)
