During the recent re-arranging of the FULL plane til....one or two planes stayed outside .....needing a bit of work...

This just need cleaned up, and the settings up to date...still a little deep...Millers Falls No.9, pre-war Type 2

 

Next?  Well...

May have been sitting around a bit too long?  Ya think?   cleaned up nicely enough (cheap brush with a few drops of 3in1 oil)

Need to adjust the frog a bit..otherwise..

The iron is cambered, as this IS a jack plane...Sargent No.3416...old enough that a patent date is on the lateral lever...from 1901

 

 

Next...that Stanley No. 8c, type 19 does have a few "issues" to fix..

That bolt has a burr to be ground off..and..

There is a burr at that point...just enough that I have to remove the bad bolt BEFORE I can remove the lever cap...grinder for the bolt, needle files for the lever cap

 

Next?

NOT a "good" look...all pitted, needed to grind back behind that black line..

Almost there.   Then over to the H-F Disc/beltsander...mainly the disc part...had a full glass of water handy, too..took a while of grind, dunk, grind, dunk..to get a new bevel and a flat back..

Then a couple oil stones..this is the coarse Crystolon...then on to the 600 medium India stone....the the wet or dry papers..1500 grit followed by the 2000 grit..

From the 600 grit to the..

2000 grit...at each step, flatten the back more..

Then finally, a good stropping..

Old leather belt, with some green stick (didn't feel like going to the Unicorn, this time..)

Got things back together..a test drive or two to get things set up..

Was a busy day, today...plane in the middle?   Millers Falls No. 9, type 4....

One before WW2, the other, about 1947ish...

 

A Jack, a Jointer, and 2 smoothers...might be a good starter set?

 

Bandit, you truly are the "jack of all planes!"

I'm exhausted.  Can we have tomorrow off??

No, starting a new job on a fresh pile of snow in your region, you must be warmed up and ready to go on Monday morning.    With you taking off a day, would be apocalyptic.

Great work, per your usual Steven.

I really need to learn to sharpen my chisels.  Can anyone recommend a good you tube to watch on this?

Maybe you've posted one up Steven?  If you haven't, maybe you should...
