NOT another $21 plane

[bandit571]

Even with a 10% discount...

   
That Stanley 2-3/8" iron was $12..but..

   
Was $90 + tax!  Union No. 41...from BEFORE Stanley ground off the "UNION" labels...

Has both 5/16" cutters.

Asking price was $100....got the 20% off Offer cut to 10%...
A bit of chipping at the base of the knob...otherwise it is in fine shape..


Was that kind of a day, yesterday..

   
And..OUCH!

   
Could have gotten a wooden Match set...

   
But, went with the Union #41 instead...

Simple rule:  IF a tool is in one of these..

   
And they have to come and unlock the doors...$$$....a very late model Stanley #4-1/2 (post WW2 era) was $125+tax?
Saws?

   
There was a saw hanging just above this one...

   
Road Trip was a bit expensive....

That Union No. 41, has been sent out to have it's Nickel Plating redone....also along for the trip...A Stanley No. 39 . 3/8" Dado plane....thinking I can keep it shiny better, than having rust where the Japanning was getting worn off...Stanley might not have Nickel Plated them..but, I am not Stanley....

[bandit571]

Ok..this was also sent along..
[attachment=50941]
As it did fit into the case of another plane that went along with the Union No. 41..
[attachment=50942]
This is how they wound up....all nickel plated, and issues fixed..
[attachment=50943]
Like bad bolts replaced, and a new nicker...and..
[attachment=50944]
The front knob has been replaced...Old one was chipped up....Fence now also works much better..

[bandit571]

Union No. 41 is not just another Pretty Face in the shop....

Going to need to build a Case to house it in..
