Part of my birthday present, was a trip down to Springfield, OH area.....to the Heart of Ohio Antique Center....soooo, in no sort of order, here are a few sights I managed to get pictures of.....and away we go ( I spent over 3 hours wandering around..BTW) Yes, that says $500! and if one isn't enough.. These two were sitting on the same table.... I think this was where I started at...was hard to keep track.. Back in a corner...was something hiding on the floor.. Then looking up a bit.. There was a pegboard wall I remember...too Then found a stall with a glass case ( bad sign, anything IN a case costs more) More than one case, though.. and... And... And... and... Yes, that tag says $95.... So..what DID I buy? Well, there was 2 jack planes I looked at....one was a Fulton, with a broken handle for $45, or the same size and maker for $40 Except this was a Sargent #414c, V.B.M. Then, there was a Stanley No. 4 from WW2 era (Type 17) for $15.. Then there was a few odds and ends... The brace is a M-F #1950 Buck Rogers. The red handled push drill is a #170, with 3 bits in the handle. And a couple chisels...$98.03 counting tax for 6 items. I turned down a Stanley #3...as they wanted $70 for it...yikes! Walked around with a cane, and a mask. Was worn out by the time I got to the checkout line. Was a busy afternoon...

And walked downtown. I was just going to see IF anything was "new" at the usual place.....nope, same old,same old. Walked back out, spotted a second store across the street....it was OPEN? Turns out she is only open on Tuesdays, 12 - 4...my lucky day.... Asked about old tools....was shown a few sitting around....."How much for that rusty little thing?" At first, she wanted $7......nah....then it was down to $5......Ok, I gave her a dollar to hold the "prize" until I could get back...3 blocks each way, twice....whew. next time I'll DRIVE down there. Paid her the $4 she needed, and walked home with this "treasure" Handsome devil, ain't he? 1951 Dunlap, made by Sargent for Sears. A small chip off the corner..meh.. Not exactly sure what colour the handles are supposed to be.....decided to rest up a bit, before the Rehab Shop could open... Insides are a bit cleaner, even the spider stuff is gone. Colour is actually black, camera causing the blue tint.. The sole did take awhile, as did the sides.. Hardware cleaned up...nasty finish on the handles has been wire wheeled off.. Yep, those are the bolts for the handles....handles were a tad loose, so I buzzed about 3 threads off the ends of the bolts. Chipbreaker needed a bit of work t mate to the now flatten back of the iron. Honed the iron to 400 grit, called it good enough.. Gave the plane a test drive after it was put back together....and...here we go... rear view.. Looks a tad bit more like a plane? Works like one, too.. Might just do, for a 66 year old plane. Plane is a #3 size.

Went on a walk-about ( about six blocks, total) and discovered a few "Gems" Was looking for a decent OLD door knob. I had a hand brace that needed a new knob, as the pot metal one was shot. Picked up a white porcelin knob for $3 +tax.. Next, was on the look out for a wood bodied plane. One place had LONG jointer planes, some even had an iron on board.....@ $20 each....YIKES! Next store had a Try plane size, but it had seen way better days, and at $20, not even worth the effort to clean up. Went across the street from those two stores to a third store. Found an old Jack plane, no price on it. Asked at the counter IF they would take $5??? They made a phone call, answer was YES! So, I walked back home, with a door knob in me coat pocket, and cradling a wood jack plane in the crook of me arm. Took the iron and chipbreaker apart. Thick tapered 1-1/8" wide iron. Was a might tight in the slot. A few taps on the wood body's backside, out came the cutter parts. Both parts were stamped with a logo. This is a W. Butcher iron an chipbreaker. Chipbreaker has a HUGE bolt. It also hasn't a hump like normal chipbreakers. Last 1/2" it angles down. Allows the wedge to sit better. Got the sole half way flat. All them years of owners planing at an angle wore the sole at bit...crooked. Handplaned to get the worse of it off. Gave the top of the body a few passes as well. Gave the body about 6 coats of BLO. Sanded the wedge a bit, to get a better fit. Now, this being a Jack plane, it does have a BIG mouthMight even be a little too big? I ground a better edge on the tapered iron, and gave it a bit of camber. maybe 9" radius? Installed the iron and chipbreaker back into the plane, along with the wedge. A few taps with the hammer to set things just right. and a test drive Cleaned up nicely, too. Sat the try plane beside it Not sure IF I will add a front knob to the new guy. Makes some decent curlie things, though Oh, as for that white door knob? Ground away what I needed to get rid of on a hand brace. Locktite CA to attach the new knob, for now. No, it doesn't turn, it won't need to. Plan to use a screwdriver bit and drive screws with this one. Brace was made in Japan, but the chuck is still in excellent shape I think I can get a bit moe torque with this, than the two Stanley Handyman 133A I have. Now, IF I can find a few bits....
