steven newman Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Came in the mail today Lovely, ain't it? And, this was it's best side.. Ah..yeah. Well, this MIGHT take a bit. Found a spider's nest in the frog. Didn't find anything broken. Found a "Whale Tail" though.. Got all the rust, most of the gray primer paint, and the spider nest cleaned off...found some orange paint... Well, I missed some of the gray paint. Lever cap was nickle plated...at one time. gave the base a coat of black paint where it needed it. Put this old Jack plane back together.. iron is sharp, but it has a camber, ala Schwarz. Sole even cleaned up nicely... Guess it wasn't so ugly after all... John Moody and Gerald 2 Quote

Ron Dudelston Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 You had me worried Lew. I thought you had a picture of Fred Wilson. Cool plane though! Ernie Richardson (BAA Bugler) and steven newman 2 Quote
Chris Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 You simply need to realize that nothing ugly comes out of the beautiful state of Georgia. It was just in costume. Looks great. I always enjoy seeing you bring life back into those planes. steven newman 1 Quote
steven newman Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Posted October 28, 2015 Apparently, I seem to have "won" a Stanley No. 7c type 10......over at Cambridge, OH......looks almost as bad as that old No.5c.... It will need to have a rear handle, and the brass nut for it scrounged up. The rest of the clean up might take an hour or two.... Need to play "catch-up" around here..Seems I have found a few other items to clean up.. maybe later this week? Quote
John Moody Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Again, nice restoration Steve. You sure get them done faster than I do. But hey, you are retired now. steven newman 1 Quote
