A "new again" Winchester plane - enjuneer - 01-03-2015
At the request of a fellow Woodnetter, I took on the task to refurbish a Winchester 3004 plane. This little No 3-sized plane came out so well, I thought I'd share it with you.
It was originally made by Sargent for Winchester, with many of the quality features that Sargent used on their VBM line. The sturdy cast iron bed has been flattened and squared on an industrial surface grinder. It was repainted with many coats of ceramic engine paint. The mahogany handles were lightly sanded and refinished with Tru-oil. The metal hardware was derusted and lightly polished. The original iron was sharpened with a 25° primary bevel and 30° micro bevel.
It will soon be headed back to its owner to join its other Winchester stablemates.

It was complete, but a little beat up and grungy.

I think it is safe to say that one is now better than new
