This is the final picture of the plane rehabilitated in the fettling thread.

The paint is Rust-Oleum glossy.
A nice smooth coat of paint in the plane bed feels a lot nicer than a chipped and rusted plane bed. It doesn't make it work any better, but sometimes a tool feeling better may make it seem to work better.:confused:
It is cutting nice shavings and even with a few pits still in the sole and a little chip off the front, it is a nice plane.
Haven't decided what I am going to do with it as it is a duplicate. Have to decide which of my #7s is better liked and maybe sell one.

The plane as bought, no cleaning other than brushing off some dust.

The finished plane.
