While cleaning out all the mess in the shop the past week or so....came upon a wood bodied plane..
383665
The #4 Stanley is there to give an idea of scale. Made in Cincinnati, Oh....back in the 60s...1860s, that is....Handle was snapped off...skate was rusty...
Took things apart, all but the skate..
383667
Screws will NOT budge. I stripped the old, nasty finish off...may have to make a new wedge...
383668
Sole was NOT flat, and was angled a bit....plane to flatten...
383669
These two hold the fence still...in theory...never got them to hold....new ones will get made?
383671
This is supposed to be a fence....meh..
383672
The rods are about the only things worth keeping....rest will get remade. Screws do not have a point on their ends....might keep them aside.
Looks like I need to get some lumber, and make a few parts....That Maple block I also found..
383673
Might get made into a new tote? Temporary tote will be an old #5 handle.
This might take awhile..stay tuned...
