September 11, 201411 yr And a couple old rusty tools. Found an 18" long Craftsman Backsaw for a dollar bill. And, a Stanley #70 scraper plane. The saw can wait a while, until I have the right sized files to sharpen the DULL teeth with The Stanley #70: It has a curved sole and a cambered iron. Used to scrape off painted labels on wooden shipping crates. This one was very nasty looking. Wire wheels on the Drill press to clean most of the crud and rust off. Gave the iron the once over. Might have used the force, too The chisel came from FeeBay, an Eagle Brand 7, 1-1/2" socket firmer chisel. It needed a handle, and this was all I had on hand. I might try to see what I could turn, if I knew what the original looked like. Stanley #70 had a surprise when i cleaned up the iron, under the "STANLEY" there was a heart with the letters SW inside. The so-called Sweetheart era. handle got a good clean up, then a BLO/Varnish coating. Not too bad a day Tried to upload a few of the finished photos......NADA Edited November 21, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston tags added
September 11, 201411 yr Author Try this again The math on here does NOT jive with the math on my photos. A 330kb will not load into a 500kb site? Really?
September 11, 201411 yr Author ok, will try it again maybe? Ah so I have to place them into the Library first? Not sure WHO that green Fellow is. That wide (1-1/2) chisel is the eagle Brand 7, A firmer style chisel. It came without the handle, and that was the only one i had in the shop, for now
September 11, 201411 yr Couple of really nice finds Steve. That No.70 looks really good. I love the handle and it looks like it is in really good condition. I think that would be a keeper for sure.
