Lakeside Rehab

[steven newman]

One of the 3 handplanes I have "picked" over the past week..was from a store in Mount Victory, OH.   Place is called The Tin Cup..plane?

Was that "Pick of the Litter #3...1 out of 7...Price was $19 out the door.

 

Ok, the grinder I used to use to rehab planes and sharpen things,,,DOA...had to go to Harbor Freight..

And new wheels from Ace Hardware...Got the new grinder all set up in the shop..

"some assembly required..
  Had the sanding center ready to go..

Mainly using the disc to sharpen things..

Time to tear the plane down..

 

This is a #3 sized plane..

Ugly?

Handles weren't all THAT bad...but..

The base need a bit of work..inside and out...

 

Wire wheels...both on the grinder, and in the drill press..Iron and chipbreaker, cleaned up, mated to be gap-free, and the iron nice and sharp...and the cloth wheel to hone the edges..

Lever cap looks a little better, too..the "Before"?

Base was cleaned up, sole cleaned up, a dab of 3in1 oil on a brush to "restore" the japanning look..

Bolts cleaned up.  Handles were cleaned up a bit, then the brush load of oil...

Frog was cleaned up, Brass wheel is shiny again...test drive?

A look at the "stern"?

and the bow..

About the same amount of time the clothes washer took...loaded the clothes in the the dryer, and closed up shop..

 

Lakeside was a "House Brand" of Montgomery Ward's....sometimes made by Stanley, or..like this one,,made by Sargent.

 

Next up?

I have a broken Stanley No. 5-1/4...base is badly cracked....may take the usable parts from it, and toss the bad parts from the AMT Junior Jack.  Base is solid brass. 

 

We'll see..

Great save and refurb Bandit. Pretty sure I have a #3 Lakeside (think its also a Sargent) stashed back that needs refurbished when I get around 2it. I dont think the iron is as nice as yours appears to be. It was in a box along with other treasures picked at a flea market. Been working on a Lakeside 3/8" chuck breast drill. It was in a box of treats from an on-line auction.

 

Those Bauer grinders get pretty good reviews. My first H-F (go H-F) corded purchase was a Chicago Electric 6" buffer. That's been over 10 years ago. It's still going strong. Hard to say now how many 6" buffing pads I've worn out on it. It gets used a lot.
