Have work to do..

At least as far as this plane..

   
Yep, yep....

   
MIGHT take a bit?

 Test drive?

   
iron was sharp, but rusty...the sole?

   
Cleaned up nicely enough...all those very small pits are now full of wax...

Part 2:   Seems I "Picked" a hand plane the other day ($25!)

   
The Tote was loose, is all....however..

   
The rest of the parts needed a wee bit of work...besides cleaning off the rust?

   
Iron was bent...and someone else had tried it as a Bevel up plane?  

   
Vise to squeeze most of the bends out...those that refused to flatten out...we have ways..

   
Once things were "straightened out"...then worked on the bevel a bit...

   
And...there is a bare spot on me left forearm....

Plane is a Millers Falls No. 9 ( says so right on the side of the base casting) and is a Type 2.

Not only do I have a second Type 2...there is a fancier Type 4 sitting between the two..

A No. 9 is about the same size ( and WEIGHT!) as a Stanley No. 4


Also in the Road trips "findings"..

Two Stanley 8" Tri-squares....and...

A Millers Falls No. 107 Eggbeater Drill....bad part was the drill storage handle was empty..

trying to decide whether the gear needs Black paint, or Red...1915 they were red...
[attachment=53237]
Kind of hard to tell, right now....but there is a few traces of red left on the gear..
