    Just got back from Lowes...needed a new 6" brass wire wheel for my grinder. Question is....which cloth wheel to remove? Intend to sharpen a few things up.....do I leave the firm wheel on, or the "soft" one?


    Have removed the white wheel, for now. Brass wheel has taken it's place. Outside caliper and the PEXTO dividers have been cleaned up...all parts that need to move, are now moving..on those two...

    May start on either the #3 or the #4 tomorrow...had enough fun for today....

    The caliper has a CWF stamped into both outside faces....owner's name?

    The PEXTO divider is an 8" model....

    Steven, I am curious what you do with all these tools? Sell them on? Collect them?

    Regards from Perth

    Hmmm...Hyperkitten seems to think the Stanley No. 4 is a Type 20....was just wondering when did Stanley use a yellow paint in the STANLEY logo with a nickel plated finish?

    Handles are black painted hardwood.
    Base has a dark blue colour.
    Lateral is the post 1962 folded one piece.

    Yoke is a steel 2 piece thing. Needs to soak a while, before I tear it all down...
    Grinder does have the wire wheel installed...

    Looks like it will get a work out...

    I have benefited from his kindness, both in terms of equipment and in help in making some things work that just simply defied me.

    West Liberty, handle details.JPG
    Handle will get a good soak in some BLO...should make it a bit more presentable?
    West Liberty, Box Lots.JPG
    Box lots, anyone....some boxes weren't worth digging through...
    West Liberty, junk box.JPG
    Thank is what is left of an Ohio Tool Co. No. 05....and a few block plane shaped objects...
    West Liberty, 1st worksharp.JPG
    Hmmmm....eh...not today, thank you..
    West Liberty, Belsaw.JPG
    I have no idea what this was for...so I passed it by..
    West Liberty, Peelers.JPG

    There was a cart full at one stall..
    West Liberty, Woodies and such.JPG
    Can't remember IF that is the Stanley No. 4 I bought....seen a few. I had also walked past a Stanley No. 7c....thought I would walk back later...someone else bought it for $15...( already have one IN my shop..)
    West Liberty, fancy stuff.JPG
    Careful with those brushes..that brass wire is SHARP...and I have a hole in me thumb to prove it. The angle guide? Still thinking of ways to put it to use...
    West Liberty, Snap-on.JPG
    Don't need this tool chest, nor the roll-around under it...
    Now, this was called a Tractor Fest for a reason...even if some just made shingles..
    West Liberty, shingle maker.JPG
    Seemed about half of the usual amount were here, this year...

    Iron has been sharpened, chipbreaker mated to the iron....had to hammer-adjust the chipbreaker so it would sit flat...

    De-greased the body, and a the frog..Rustoleum Black was applied....waiting on that to dry a while. handles may need another coat of oil finish...we'll see. No rush, today...resting up from yesterday..

    6 yard sales walked, plus the mile or so at the fest....even "did Lunch" at the fest.

    Have a start to the Stanley No. 4, Type 20 (?) Rehab going on...mostly a tear down...
    Stanley No. 4 rehab, start.JPG
    Handsome, ain't he?
    Stanley No. 4 rehab, blue base.JPG
    Not black, more of a very dark (royal navy?) blue.
    Stanley No. 4 rehab, numbered frog.JPG
    A numbered frog, with a face only a mother could love..
    Stanley No. 4 rehab, ugly iron.JPG
    This might take a while...
    Stanley No.4 rehab, brass wheel.JPG
    And me without a can of Brasso...LARGE brass wheel spins well enough...
    Stanley No. 4 rehab, yellow logo.JPG
    Yellow logo? Not sure IF it is original to the T-20 planes...

    Painted hardwood handles will get a new coat? Or just stripped to bare wood, and given a light coloured finish?
    Nothing broken, nor anything cracked...it might be fun to do...

    BTW: that Sargent VBM #408c has a righthand threaded depth adjuster wheel...thinking this VBM is from about..1917? Will pair up nicely with my Sargent No.414c VBM Jack plane..

    Sargent 408c, side view.JPG
    Not too bad looking, for a 103 years old plane?

    I have this exact same sargent. My has an interesting quirk though that the casting is thicker on the left cheek than the right.

    Might have seen a lot of rubbing against a fence over the past 100 years?
