Whilst helping my wife with her business this weekend, I found this little duder on the floor of the antique shop we were watching.
Poor little guy was all alone, neglected, dirty, stinky, and covered in what seemed to be motor oil.
Started around 1PM today, and just finished up cleaning it. A Dremel with a steel wool attachment was used, as well as penetrating oil and some 120 sandpaper to make sure the bottom and sides were flat, also to get the surface rust (which covered pretty much the entire plane) off the blade and breaker.
Little Bedrock 603. Should be great for those smaller projects that need a smoother. The best part is that it was scored for all of $65. From Supertool or that Fleabag place, they generally go for $200+. :D
That's a scrap piece of soft maple there. Takes a beautiful shaving with no chatter. :)
