    Excellent, thanks. I used walnut transfast, and it turned out a reddish brown rather than brown. That's why I came in to ask the question, because I thought that should have worked.

    Awesome, thank you. I think I have that hardware. I'm going to make a second, smaller one and mount it to the bench as my main vise. Then keep the bigger one for larger projects and clamp that one.

    Paint on Vintage Plane?

    Hey all,

    I came into a nice vintage Stanley plane. It has some small flecks of paint on the Japanning. Any idea on the best method to remove this without removing the Japanning?

    Thanks!

    Awesome, thank you. I might just go with that for now since I have those tools and don't mind the work at all. I actually find it very relaxing and meditative using hand tools.
