Stanley 71 Router Plane Box from Pine & Meranti

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I made this box last year after I got my Stanley 71 router plane from ebay and restored it a little. I was just getting into box making at this time, but I did spend a lot of time on this box to get everything right. I actually made a box for the router plane before this but screwed up the measurements and it ended up being a tad bit too small to fit everything.I made quote a few mistakes with this one, but covered them up. Let's just say that the meranti inlay for the lid was never in the plan, but there were some pretty horrible tearout there that I wanted to hid.If I do this box again, I will make it a bit thinner and probably not use pine at all.
