Continuation from Stanley #3 Oddities - thread split for second plane

Sounds good Doug looking forward to how this turns out. BTW, Welcome to the creek.

That actually looks like it is in pretty good condition; I've worked on far worse. If you don't mind driving out to Mound sometime, I can give you some pointers on rehabbing it.

Thank You Andrew!

So I did meet up with Andrew and he took hammer and tong to my little plane with the happy result that you see here.

I would say that he did magical work, but in actuality, the magic was that he turned the effort into a non-mystical straightforward process that I could follow, and I now have the confidence to take on the next one myself.

Congrats, it is good to see an old plane return to its purpose.

Have to disagree with you there Doug! Pretty sure it was, as they say, it was PFM (Pure Magic)!

It is a good looking plane. Always nice when you get it working.
