another Block plane.     Makes six, SO FAR.    A little Dunlap low angle plane.   Shouldn't take too much work to clean up.    Not as much fun, though, as a full restore. Maybe a re-do of the knob, new paint, sharpen the iron, and shine things up?    Yep, just what i needed....

'and may the road raise up to meet ye'

 Spent a little time today, cleaning this new plane up.   I got the sole flat, and even cleaned up the sides...Some purple scrathy pads cleaned up the plated parts, as well.      That wood knob?  Maybe this weekend, I'll work on it.   I did get some work on the iron, as well.    Just flattened the back, and worked on the edge a bit.   Took it for a drive on Poplar Street....Hmm, maybe adjust the setting a bit?Imagine it after a good honing down?     We are getting there.     Just a little Sargent made plane that Sears sold as a  Dunlap.

 Dunlap block plane is now done, re-hab completed.    Sanded down the tote, cleaned the rest of the bare metal parts, and applied a wax finish to the whole thing. Not too bad?  Almost like new?  That yellow can seems to work as a wax finish,  for me, anyway..Next re-hab items showed up today.   Rust Hunter bought two saws, for a $1 each.    Might take awhile to get these ready...Both seem to be 10 pointers.

 I got to checking that Dunlap iron.    Seems to be curved a bit, NOT cambered, the other direction.    Took the iron to work last night, and ground a new straight edge on it.    This afternoon, on the back porch bench, it was the stones & paper routine.   Polished everything on the iron, and gave it a test drive on a pine knotNot too bad? next, a trip on Poplar street..Hmmmp! Well, IF I tap the iron to the other side a bit?That's more like it!  Might just be about done with this little $16 plane.   One more look? must have fallen over.
