the Three Amigos were in the shop.     First a tear down.  Got to clean thing up, and get ready for paint:The one in the middle is a Stanley 120, and it needed a new knob, so while the paint was drying..I fired up the Ol' Craftsman lathe, and turned some beech.    Almost sounds like Bud ( Beechwood aged).   i learned a long time ago to turn doubles, just in case one goes down in flames..   These two turned out fairly decent.    I drilled the holes to mount two knobs.     I also sharpened up a couple irons, with the 120's being the worst.    I gave a couple of them a test drive along Pine AvenueThe 120, with it's new knob.   And the Sargent 107 clone, with it's now knob.   It's iron stayed a cambered one,  that is why the shavings are different.     While out in the shop tonight,  also stripped down a knob from my new Type16 Bailey #6.    As for the three Amigos?    they joined the rest of the Rogues Gallery...and the Bailey?  No, that ain't no Rosewood.....More like oiled down Beech...
