Yep, another rehab. This be a PIP of where this big guy is at right now

 

Clamps are there to hold those tabs in lace while the super glue sets up. Top of the body has been cleaned off. Sides have had a plane work them back to almost new. At least the old cruddy finish is gone. Sole has been planed flat as i can get it. Not 100% flat, but good enough for this shop.

 

Tote has seen a wire wheel to get most of the oil finish off, and some of the old paint splats. Tried to flatten the toe a bit, almost back to a level front porch. Might still turn a front Kanoobie...

 

 

Wedge has been tuned up, cleaned up, and an oil finish is on it. Rest of the body has at least five coats, so far. Wood might be a tad dry? Body is 22" long, iron is 2-1/2" wide, about the same as a Stanley #7 iron bodied plane. Iron has been reground to get rid of a few nicks. Awaiting it's turn on the oil stones...

Might not be too bad a plane...afterall?

The oil really brought out the beauty in the wood!

 

That is a nice looking plane. Amazing how some oil will bring them out so nice.

@steven newman did a wonderful job on this one back in the day, I remember like it was yesterday, a treasure to display and a great user!
