483102
483103
And...
483104
Maybe a Millers Falls/ Goodell Pratt Co. ?

Will need a good cleaning, and a drop or 3 of oil...

[steven c newman]

Research shows this to be a Goodell Pratt Co. No. 5-1/2 B......may start the rehab later...

Except for the handle it is pretty much the same as the #5-1/2 > https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?291909

Steven,

The reason it followed you home is that it knew you were going to restore it and thus make it prettier and more functional. Can you blame it for wanting to follow you home? It was looking only at it's own self interest.

Looking a little better...

and
483129
Need to tear the chuck apart...and get the jaws re-aligned....all jumbled up, right now. Crank has the Toolsmiths logo.

Rust Hunt this morning....a fellow said to make him an offer......
483130
handed him$8, and loaded these into the car seat....a Millers Falls V-Line plane, a 6-1/4" draw knife, and a Stanley No. 51 spokeshave....will be busy in the rehab shop, today?

[Stew Denton]

Steven,

It is not "Looking a little better," it is looking much much better. Keep us in the loop. Are you going to paint it? The back side is looking really good.

I have a chuck to work on, but it is boxed up with tons of other stuff since our move. Is a chuck fairly difficult to trouble shoot, or is it not to bad?

W.H. KIEFABER CO. of Dayton, OH.

Not too bad...for just $8?

[steven c newman]

Plane was used, today..
483200
Diagonals to flatten...then back off the iron a tad..
483201
To smooth some Maple...have a box to build...
483202
Have plenty more to flatten and smooth..

All from being resawn earlier...

Trying to figure out...$8 divided by 3 =? ~$2.66 each?
