The sargent #414 just needed a hone and a clean up.   The Bailey #5 Type 11 needed a wee bit more work.  It had a crack in the side, wrong lever cap, and a bit of rust.   Lever cap was changed out with a one I had in the "spares" box.    That crack took a trip to Wallie-world.    Brought home a tube of Loc-tite epoxy for metal.    Dremel made a "V" groove along the crack.   Applied a bead to both the inside and outside of the crack.   Let it set for over a day.    Beltsander to flatten the area  back to smooth.   Area is now stable, but doesn't "hide' the crack.    Sole was flattened a bit as well.   All the other parts were cleaned up. 

 

And now, the "Reveal"

 

The Left side, without the crack.

And the right side, with the epoxied crack.  The "gap' under the plane is from the curved counter top. next

a look at the back.  Some paint is still on the woodworks.   Wood is Rosewood.  And the flattened sole

Finally, the frontend

With a more correct lever cap...

 

Still need to hone the iron. 

 

Sargent is also completed, and working...

Don't you just hate those nasty cracks in them?

Steven, you certainly work magic with those planes!

Great job man, hey as long it cuts fine curls, how it looks is secondary.

Oh it does a nice job on some white oak scrap i had laying around

and the aftermath

Might have had it just a little deep.   Normal riibon curls I get from this stuff..

 

Wonder if any more of these boxes are wandering around?

I am sure there is one more wandering you way Steve.
