Another way: Spent the $15 at Harbor Freight...Windsor Pattern No. 33 plane. Grind a 3" radius camber on it very thick iron...there is no chipbreaker. You now hold a #3 sized, very hungry Scrub Plane.
You'll get better use out of it, that way, than trying to make a smoother out of it... 
IF you are concerned about entering H-F ( lest we see you..) put a bag over your head...don't forget the eye-holes.....LOL

And don't use a plastic bag. A paper bag can't get trapped against your mouth, causing you to asphyxiate.

I am surprised to see this one come back to life.

I had a vintage Stanley scrub plane once and sold it as I prefer a #5 with a cambered blade. Does not take long at all to set one up, so I don't understand the concern there.
Recently used it to flatten two walnut slabs that I used for a pair of end table. Followed up with a #7 and another #5 set up for smoothing. I do have a couple of #4 but normally grab the #5 instead.

Perfect! Thank you for the link to his blogs.
If I follow my thought process through on a final texturing for some pieces, I could have an 1 1/2" traditional scrub plane -- 40 1/2 or the 78, and I could also convert like a #4 blade to had a concave blade for some wider scrub cuts......both depending on how deep the blade is set.

In use, at the moment..

Going at a diagonal to the grain...shavings the thickness of an Old Groat ( English coin)
Needs a decent camber..

I think 8" radius will about do the trick...the Jack plane?

Was made by Great Neck Tool Co., and was their Corsair brand, model C 5

Made in USA..
YMMV..

What do you mean, a 8 inch radius. Didn't you get the memo, LN has a 1 1/2 inch blade and it has a 3 inch radius. Therefore all scrub plane blades must have a 3 inch radius on them I put a 4 inch radius on a 2 inch blade and you can't believe all the negativity I got because I went against the established rules. If you don't follow established protocol you are going to hear about it.

Then they can just argue it out with Herr Schwarz..... As that is what he uses....

Geez Louise, I freehand the radius on my pseudo scrub, have no idea what the radius is and it seems to cut anyway. Besides, my plane can’t read.
