I finished the restoration of the 2nd of the Stanley Bailey No.5's I have picked up. Well it is almost completely finished. I still have a few more grits to go through on the sides and bottom to have it with the finish I want on it, but other than that, it is ready to go.



this one dates to early 1900's. I'll have to get you a closer date tomorrow. I forgot to take the pictures of the frog and blade to give you the details.



Anyway here it is before and sorry these are not good before pictures, I thought I took more than this when I got it.

I have another one that I have started the process on and will make sure I get better pictures of it.

I know what you mean John. I really needed to wait but while I was waiting on glue to dry I worked on most of it.

Nice work John. I still have all of mine to do as well but like John H I think I will have to wait til after the 1st of the year before doing those. I gotta keep making pens and toothpick holders for sale until the holidays end at least.
