I recieved this Stanley hand plane from my wifes great uncle shortly before he passed away, about 15 years ago. I have used it a few times, sharp as heck. I need to clean it up, has a slight amount of rust on the sides, the bed is clean as a whistle. Mostly just dusty.
Any one have any idea how old this is? It is a Stanley Handyman, says #1205 on the tops of the blade where it locks in.
What is the best way to remove rust on these and what is the best way to clean and protect the wood handles? Here are a couple photos and yes, I did make the blanket chest. That was one of my first projects probably about 15 years ago. A little banged up from kids crawling on it, sitting on it etc.
Thanks,
Corey
