My Dad will be 88 this June and for the past few years he has not been able to do much in the way of woodworking. He has just moved out of the old home place and has given me his old hand tools.
He gave me five planes, one Stanly 220 block plane, several no name smoothers and a Sargent 14 inch jack plane.
This jack plane intrigued me right from the start so in the past few days I've spent some time with it.
I've flattened the sole and sides, cleaned and adjusted the frog, polished and flattened the bottom edge of the chip breaker, flattened the back and scary sharpened the blade, and removed all the old chipping lacquer from the tote and the knob and applied a coat of pure tung oil.
Enclosed is a quick pic, would appreciate any info on this plane that anyone has out there for this newby neader.
Thanks
Ace
