February 22, 20251 yr Popular Post As this "Thing" has sat around in a window sill for way too long... Hauled it down to the shop...and took it apart.. Compared to one of the other No. 80 scrapers I have... Bolts and the keeper were wire wheeled a bit cleaner..the "Before" And the "After"... Yep..the Keeper bar is a Stanley SW model Gave the sole of the body a ride on the beltsander...then the fancy stones... I tried to flatten the back of the blade... Have to remember, unlike a Bench Plane's iron, this blade with get bowed a bit in use...as for the bevel.. This is right off the grinder,,,before the stones get to work on it... Was finally able to take it for a test drive, on a stick of Ash scrap.. So, for now, I think I'll call this one done... Gave it a wipe down in 3in1 oil, and hung it up on the Tool Cabinet door.... Thanks for looking in.
