I made a replacement tote for my Veritas low-angle jack. I strongly dislike the original tote; from day one I found it uncomfortable and inelegant. The replacement is made of cherry and finished with boiled linseed oil and paste wax.
The shape of the tote is based on the Stanley #5 template available from Lee Valley. The bolt hole had to be drilled at a different angle than specified in the template (closer to vertical) to make it suitable for use with the Veritas plane.
