A Kobalt #4 handplane.  It will take a bit of work to fettle up to even my standards ( YES,I do have some..) like the iron itself.



Got the plane apart, tightened down the bolts for the handles, all three of them.  Checked the fit of the chipbreaker.....yep, a wee bit off.  lever caphad a ledge of some sort, where it met the chipbreaker.   Sanded that smooth to fit better.  undefinedlooks a might better.   iron needed to be flattened on it's back, and the edge honed down.    Factory grind marks just had to go.  Frog's face got a little tune up.ning-imag0005-6330-56.jpg?width=750Just a little rough.  Better now?   Frog does have a Frog Adjust Bolt.   When I finish getting this $30 plane all fettled up. be back with a few more photos.  



Plane seems to be a "Made in China "  clone of a Record #4.   More of a Bailey style of plane.   Big and heavy.    The sole seems to be quite flat.   Might be a decent plane.  



Btw:  having a duece of a time getting these photos to load here.
