A little rust hunt for today

[steven c newman]

Was out and about, with a bit of cash in hand ( dangerous, I know) and decided to visit a couple stores....After bypassing a Stanley #72 ($200?!) and a couple scraper planes ( $100 for the pair) meandered along and found a $2 Nicholson Magicut....

Can't find too much info on the rasp plane Does have a patent number on it. Has a Nicholson USA logo, with crossed files on the "toe" end. Sole has a very slight curve to it. Maybe I can "flatten" the sole?

Bits are an "off brand"....MY-T-CO.....? Seem to be straight, and sharp.

Have cleaned the saw set up, found a bunch of numbers on the anvil part. Seems to be a "Type 1" model.....may have to give it a try, later.

You're fortunate, my wife won't let me go rust hunting, since LV has had free shipping of late. She says I spent all my money for new, so no rust hunting.:)
I am retired and she still works, so I can rust hunt on the way to and from the golf course. Don't tell her, it's a secret.

I've had a Stanley rasp plane similar to yours for years. Good luck sharpening that thing (LOL).

Just needs a new blade installed, just snap the old one out, and clip on a new one......couple of dolllars at one of the BORGs...

The Borgs in my area no longer seem to be carrying replacement blades. They may be available online for local pickup.
