I would have probably found that out the hard way. Thanks.

Yep, I got it.

Thanks. No, there are no magnets involved. The planes are held in place by
gravity, and by the lips on the wooden "retainers" that overlap the top surface
of the base of the plane at the leading and trailing edge. Not sure if a text
description is sufficient (if I were -MIKE- I'd make a video)... Let me try a
different approach: When the plane is in the rack, you can slide it upwards
about a half inch, but only a quarter inch is necessary for the bottom
(trailing) edge of the plane to clear the lip of the bottom retainer. At that
point, you can pull the bottom of the plane out towards you, then slide it back
down to clear the upper retainer and thus remove the plane from the rack.
Maybe I'll make a video. :-)

I'd probably have to fork over some bucks first. Like I don't do that every
day anyway. :-)

Well I ain't DJ, but thanks. :-) I actually have quite a few more planes
where those came from, and some of them are on display on shelves in the house.
My wife actually approves of that! I might consider a nice hardwood display
rack in that case, but out in the shop I figured anything too nice was just
gonna get dusty and roughed up.

Yep.

Thanks again. It works very well. I'd be glad to take some more close-up
pictures or give more details if somebody wants to try to make one.

Very nice rack, DJ. It'd look even nicer in an exotic hardwood.

Do NOT do that, Sonny. Magnetizing the sole of the plane only invites
it to pick up stray pieces of sharp metal which will scratch both your
projects and your planes.
He has a longer slot in the top retainer and both sides of the planes
are confined by the little rails. You lift and pull the bottom out
first to remove a plane. It's very nicely done.
