[steven c newman]

One garage sale, was so "good", I went back twice....
1st trip...didn't have a lot to spend..so...
440939
$2 for that Stanley No. 31 Jointer plane...24" long. Has the "Eagle" logo on the toe.
Went back again...spent $6 on three items...
440940
$1 for the centerfinder, $2 for the Bishop No. 10 saw...$3 for the Stanley No.3c
440941
The No. 3c had...issues....
Finally, in an effort to find out if the iron/chipbreaker had fallen out..I went back a third time....didn't find them, but..
440942
$2 out of the $4 I had, went with these...the other $2?
440943
A Morrill No. 1 B saw set....

That Garage sale is running this Saturday, too.....and I have already spent my tool allowance for this weekend...
Have already started the rehabs....will post when done....just a tease?
440944
Replacement tote, to replace the replacement tote that was on there...
440945

Well, the Bishop saw is also cleaned up, and ready to go out to be sharpened....there is that centerfinder No. 11 that is also cleaned up....which leaves those dies..
441085
10 keepers, 2 spares, and a pair of wrenches/holders....
Next?
441086
Well, this is the sole of that Stanley No. 31 Jointer plane
441087
Got out the Stanley No. 8, type7 to flatten a very bad sole..
441088
IF I press down on the "Bow" of this Carrier....the stern raises up a bunch..so..
441089
Then the sides were squared to the sole...as some seem to think that is needful( I'd LOVE to see the shooting board this would use..)
441090
I did find a use for the WR No. 62....
441091
Not a lot I can do with this area,...so, I just gave the entire body a heavy coat of BLO..
441092
And watch some of the cracks close up. Ironworks has been given a decent coat of black paint.....letting things dry overnight.

Need to stop by Wall E World and buy a wood dowel....and fill all the worn out screw holes....and drill new pilot holes....
Stay tuned..

[steven c newman]

Wooden 3/8" dowels have been bought.


The Centerfinder?
441102
And the Bishop No. 10...handle details, and
441103
And the etch
441104
Intend to haul this saw down to Piqua, OH. where there is a sharpening service...

Plan is, to drill out the worn out screw holes, glue in the 3/8" dowels...then come back and drill new pilot holes. Then clean the bolts up, and re-install them...
Shop is closed, today...that..Monday thing....may try tomorrow....not sure IF I'll need to plane the top/deck of the plane...yet..

As for pipe thread stuff? There is one die marked as NPT....1/8"
441105
And a set of pipe taps....up to that Greenfield 1"- 11-1/2 monster...may hay to make a separate box for these?

[steven c newman]

Ok..worn out screw holes repaired...
441285
3/8" dowels......then...the wood body snapped in two, right at the mouth opening...glue, cauls and clamps to fix that..
441286
Let it sit a day or two...clean up the excess glue, and run the #8 around, to flatten as needed..
441287
Including taking down the dowel plugs flush....

Went out and bought some "lumber"
441288
1/2" x 5-1/2" x 24" Poplar. So I can start on building a case to store all the taps, dies, and their holders/wrenches.....may have to get a few more, to hold the Pipe thread taps.
Need to sort through the stack of taps, and stash away the bad ones, ones I can't read what they are. Once the "School Desk has been cleared off..
441289
Then draw up a plan of some sort...or two? And then wait on Moose & Squirrel Delivery Service to deliver the drawn up "Plans"....
Stanley 31....need to drill new pilot holes...
441290
Rear handle has a coat of oil finish...
441291
Front one will need a few more coats. Need to clean up the OEM screws..
441292
So I can attach the frame to the plane's body...

Sounds like a busy weekend, ahead....stay tuned...:D

Glad to see the old transitional is getting cleaned up and not sent to the burn pile at Patrick Leach's place.

I bought a similar transitional jointer for $7 last year. I got it to work pretty decent, but find myself reaching for my no 8 more often than not.

More fun...
441394
Stanley #28 in front, as it needed an iron and chipbreaker. As the one from the recent No. 31 refused to work when cleaned and sharpened ( could not get it to retract enough) but, it did work great in the #28.

The #31 behind it? Have had it for almost 10 years, now...still works great.
441395
Side by side of the 2 No. 31s...
