Second "cheap" plane this week...$19 for a #3 sized smoother..
Kenton Road Trip, Tin Cup, plane bin.jpg
It was the "pick of the 7 plane litter"
Kenton Road Trip, #6 Plane, 5.jpg
As for these 2...one was a plane shaped object.. the other was a $115 No. 6 Stanley...a wee bit above my budget..for the year ( besides, I already have THREE of them..)
Upon further review..That $19 #3 is a Lakeside...according to the logo on the iron..
Lakeside #3, Big wheel.jpg
Nice big wheel..
Lakeside #3, chipbreaker, spring.jpg
Lever cap does have a spring...
Lakeside #3, Iron, price.jpg
Nice thick iron..hole at the top?
Lakeside #3, Made in USA.jpg
Under the hood details...
Lakeside #3, Twisted lever.jpg
Might be a Sargent made plane...for Montgomery Ward's?
Sole doesn't look too hateful..
Lakeside #3, smooth sole.jpg
Edge of the iron has seen a few nails? lots of chips to remove....Might take a day to make this plane ready for work..we'll see..

The $19 Lakeside has been rehabbed...while I was on Laundry Detail yesterday...took about the same amount of time as the Clothes Washer did..
"Stern View"

Sargent, or....Stanley?

Looks good Steven. Lateral adjuster has a twist, so not Stanley. Maybe a Union after they were bought by Stanley?Originally Posted by steven c newman

Leaning more towards this being a Sargent made plane..
As for that Brass plane..
Lever caps:
Brass Plane Rehab, lever caps.jpg
Compared to a Stanley No. 3...fronts..
Brass Plane Rehab, under the lever caps.jpg
Undersides...springs look the same..
Brass Plane Rehab, Iron is done.jpg
Iron took a LONG (for me) time to get flat, square, and sharp...chipbreaker?
Brass Plane Rehab, chipbreaker, Spring done.jpg
Also needed work to lay gap-free on the back of the iron...
Compared to a Stanley Iron/chipbreaker..
Brass Plane Rehab, long enough, maybe.jpg
In this case, one from a Stanley No. 3, type 11..

Slots match up nicely....however..
Brass Plane Rehab, bit different...jpg
Hmmm...that might be a problem?
Handles?

That bolt is from the tote, BTW.....
Stay tuned...

Frog and frog seat..
Brass Plane Rehab, frog seat.jpg
Depth adjust has a brass core, under that plastic knob...
Both needed a bit of clean up...
Brass Plane Rehab, both needed cleaned up.jpg
Brass doesn't rust...orange stuff is from stuff that does....Frog is cast iron...frog seat is brass.
Bolts seem to match Stanley's for diameter (Metric???)
Got about to here, then a phone call..had to help transfer the Boss from my Daughter's house in Dayton/Northridge up to West Liberty, OH. to an Assisted Care Center called Green Hills.
all that driving about plumb wore me out...so much for shoptime..
Stay tuned..

AMT Rehab...used this as a parts plane...
AMT Rehab, parts plane.jpg
Because...
AMT Rehab, Doner handles.jpg
Even Tom won't be able to grind this one flat....will be a source for handles, frog, iron/chipbreaker and that sort of thing..
AMT Rehab, will not reach.jpg
As the Stanley iron will NOT reach all the way to the mouth..and the frog doesn't match up to this base..
AMT Rehab, frog base.jpg
As this sits about 1/2" LOWER than a Stanley version..so...shine things up..
AMT Rehab, shiny.jpg
with the new handles...(tossed the old ones?)
and a Test drive..
AMT Rehab, Test drive.jpg
Will work ok for a jack plane...will place it in the Ready Service Locker..
AMT Rehab, ready service locker.jpg
with a couple of #3 smoothers..
Need to go out and buy a bottle of Brasso?

Good job Steven. Might be a good one to have engraved? Really pretty.
