Been refurbbing a few wood bodied planes lately. Seems that every one of them needed the soles to be flattened. Most had a high spot right behind the opening for the iron. Some were worn out on the edges, but not in the middle. Mainly these three got finished up today
303879
The so-called Scioto Gang. The one in the back is an #81, then a long Jack , and then a Coffin #8
The Try was a mess on the sole, used a few planes , and a straight edge to bring it back to flat, then a test drive was done
303880
And the jack was about the same. As for that Coffin guy
303881
Made some Moxxon TP. I had a couple block planes to try out, and get adjusted for future use
303882
Lets see, phillips headed bolt, strange lateral adjuster....yup, Buck Brothers. :eek:
Then a couple 9-1/2 block planes were adjusted a bit
303883303884
I also had a Sargent #416 Trans that needs a flatter sole. Straight edge will act as a teeter-totter along it's length. Will have photos of that rehab later. Lots of plane action tonight, but now have a set of wood bodies ready for work.
