The slope is slippery another #4, type 10 this time, called out to me. Not sure why they attract me. I usually do not fettle my planes all that much but have bought a few that needed more than I like to do. Hmmm, I wonder if I should make an appointment with my medical clinic...
Actually, the tote is good, knob cracked, no blade, cap iron or lever cap. The frog was painted and the sole was rusted.
While the knob was on the lathe getting sanded, it dawned on me to give it a bead. So, it is now living on one of my type 6 #4s. Put another knob on the newer plane and did not realize it had a tight crack until I was looking at the pictures that were taken today.

Gee, and I just sold off an extra #4 sized Bedrock. Must be some hole in the universe directing them my way.
The blade that is type correct had a few too many pits, so a different blade is being used. It has its own problem. Maybe when it gets up to the low spot the ruler trick might be the way to go.

After lapping the sole and honing the blade, it does make some nice shavings.

Not sure what I am going to do with it. There are once again 4 #4s in the shop. I mostly use a type 6 and a type 9. I have a second type 6 that needs a little work. Have often thought of fixing it up and selling the type 9. Not sure why the type 6 holds any appeal other than the blade adjustment has a right hand thread and if all the planes of one size are the same, then there is not as much to think about when using them.
