This old cast Stanley level was found at a yard sale recently and I'm hoping to find out more about it. The marking on the left might indicate fabrication or patent date, but the mark on the left has me baffled. Hoping for some help here. Stanley was of no help, although I did find this catalogue on line from 1914.

Wanted to show off the Christmas gift my crew at work got me. 26” wooden jointer plane. Complete with iron, chipbreaker and wedge. Needs a little work to get it back in shape but pretty sweet. The iron shows Providence Tool Compay and is bimetal, cast iron to carbon steel. Not sure if it’s original to the plane but it’s about right for the period.

I was greeted to tiles lying on the tub yesterday morning. This bathroom was on the list to rehab but the timing is bad. We have guests arriving in about 8 weeks. OK so who glues shower tiles directly onto green board with mastic ???? So yesterday and today I started the demo process. The drywall is shot and coming off with the tile so not difficult. And it was a cast iron tub which is a lot easier to get out than a steel one. So on we go. Paul

As I mentioned in the paste wax topic my son gave some of this stuff. https://carbonmethod.com/carbon-coating-quick-kit/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyMSQrNK3gwMVHhKtBh1IygjSEAAYASAAEgIn9vD_BwE I have seen good reviews on it and my son loves it. Problem is after seeing him do it I have never been up to the task. I have never been that worried about how shiny my cast iron is but I have used his tools and the stuff is very slick and seems to stay that way for a long time. The one draw back I see is that if you need to get it off I’m not sure you can. I guess I will give it a go in the next few weeks. Paul

Plan ''B'' rust clean up...
Stick486 posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Plan ''B'' rust clean up... and cast iron table polishing... soak your heavy rust w/ solvent and rub it out w/ a concrete rubbing stone... (the one w/ the handle) do the final polishing w/ the solid polishing bricks... keep in mind these bricks come in grits from dig a crater to make it nice and shiny... also make sure you don't rub out your table dry or you will get scratches the size of canyons.. do the rubbing in circular motion and not in line... clean the solvent off of the table.. paint thinner to the rescue... wax and buff out the top... better than new...
