Well, at least we had the intentions of making the repair. Watch the full video to see what happens but if you don’t have the seven minutes to spare, I thought I was about to start the restoration on a rosewood 605-1/2 set but ran into a major problem. Turns out someone (years ago) fashioned a smaller tote to the plane. In doing so, they added a hole at the toe and then coated the bottom of the tote with JB Weld to help secure its position.
All is not lost' we have a few donor totes and we’re working toward a matching solution with the proper features. In the mean time, enjoy the “not everything is as it seems” video.
