Popular Post steven newman Posted April 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted April 5, 2022 Dropped a bag of clothes off at the Lutheran Center....wasn't any tools in their Thrift Store.... Had a 24" F style clamp from Harbor Freight...that the rubber handle had broken..was informed that IF i bring the clamp back to the store, they would replace it, free of charge ( Life time warrantee) Took care of that. On the way back home-station....stopped at the Local Antique Mall....and spend $10 and change.. Sole looked good..at least.. Iron has issues, though.. As someone used a hammer to adjust the depth of cut....has a "mushroom" growing just above the Stanley Logo Might get around to a little clean up, sometime... HARO50, Fred W.

Popular Post Grandpadave52 Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted April 6, 2022 Rare find in the wild Bandit. Fair price too for condition and model. You'll have it spiffed up in no time. steven newman, Gunny, Fred W. Hargis Jr and 2 others 4 1 Quote
Popular Post steven newman Posted April 7, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Posted April 7, 2022 Since I am waiting around on glue to cure... Took roughly one hour... Cleaned and sharpened.. They put logos everywhere... In case there was any doubt.. That used to be a yellow and black label....iron has the Stanley inside the clipped corner box...Made in USA below that...Mushroom has been removed from the iron..iron is flat and sharp.. Threads were cleaned and oiled....gave the sole a ride on the beltsander...sole is flat, now... One hour to do a block plane? Getting slow in me dotage.... HARO50, Fred W.

Grandpadave52 Posted April 7, 2022 Report Posted April 7, 2022 I knew this job would be done before the end of the week. Great rescue and refurb. Guess the next project after the table will be rounding up table scraps for a box that 'Ole #118 can live in? Fred W. Hargis Jr, steven newman and HARO50 2 1 Quote
