Hi John -

Yes, this looks like a really fine plane except for the broken threaded rod. Also, yes, the tote is what I really like about this plough plane. My other user doesn't have a tote.

I have continued to try to figure out how to take pictures on my phone and migrate them over to my computer. Emailing as a attachment hasn't work. My company doesn't trust Dropbox (which I used to use). So I've run out of ideas.

Don't worry I won't toss this tool. I think I'll be able to use my other plough plane for my current project. This will just go back on the shelf and await my retirement.

Finally thanks for the tip on the threads per inch. Good tip and makes sense.

Dave
