I was restoring a Stanley No.5 and ordered a new old Tote for it. When it came in I thought I put it up so I would know where it was. Well these days that is not working too good for me.

So when I finished the plane I couldn't find the tote. Looked for several days and finally gave up and ordered another one.

Well last night I was cleaning off one of the many flat surfaces in the shop that seems to collect more things than I do and found this Walgreen's sack. Looked inside and there was a bottle of Mineral Oil and the Tote for the No.5.

I put it in the bag to bring it to the shop and laid it down and of course that was the end of it.

Well I have two more I am working on so now I have the tote for one of them.

See it was in the last place I looked.

Now where did I put that?

I am working towards having a place for everything and keeping everything in it's place, but...........
