Bright and early, game was a-foot! Local campground was having their "annual" garage sale today. Took a bit of scouting around, dodging trees, golfcarts, and other drivers on a one lane trail...The Boss found a tree ornament she liked, and I found three things I liked... We each spent ...$5. For a sense of scale...the square is 10'' long. Figured I could clean these up, before Andrew showed up Three Rosewood handles...the square has Stanley and a Pat. 12 29 96 stamped on the blade. Numbers are readable on both sides. Screws to hold the brass plate in place. Larger bevel gauge has a solid brass thumbscrew. Haven't found any names on it or the small one. Small one has a lever to lock. Was sharpening a chisel when Chris showed up. Had a Stanley Cordovan #4 that needed a bit of a tune up. Did not take all that long, but the plane was making see-through shavings when he left......sole needed work, chipbreaker needed work, frog seat....was "special" There was a metal plate under the frog, got that out, dressed the bottom of the frog, and the face. Re-assembled it back together. Seemed to work nicely. Lots of talking and teaching going on. Finally, I got treated to supper, then he went home. Ready for a nap, now.....
