More work to do

[bandit571]

All polished up....high tech polisher
 

   
Then a second coat, rubbed down with a rag....
 

   
other side got the same treatment....
 

   
And a test drive was done..about 10 strokes..
  

   
Saw is about as done as I will do, today...saw set?

   
Right now, the number on the anvil reads "8"..
 

   
Millers Falls No. 214....might work on the 7ppi saw teeth? 

Stay tuned

We have more work to do...until I find enough lumber for a project to build...
so...a few block planes need some work..

   
5 planes....counting the two from this year's sales...

   
Some parts were cleaned up, threads oiled, others got a new coat of paint...decided to at least get the red one done...

   
Sole is flat as I need it to be.   iron got it's back flattened, bevel sharpened to 25 degrees, honed to 2,000 grit, then stropped...put the plane back together

   
Once I got the iron adjusted for depth and lateral,
 and the test track grain going the right way
took it for a test drive..
 

   
Plane was sold by Geo. Worthington Co. of Cleveland, OH....marked on the iron as a W2200.   Seems to be a Stanley No. 220. 
As for the rest of the mob..

   
May do one a day?   The bad one is the ..

   
The Great Neck knock-off of a Stanley # 9-1/2...sole will need a LOT of work..

   
Ummmmm.  Will update as I go along....
Stay tuned

Will be throwing one of the irons away....paper thin, stamp just says "JAPAN"....even the honing guide makes it bend.....sounds like a little bird."Cheep, cheep..cheap"

I think I might have a spare iron, or three.  Of the next 3 to work on...the 220 look alike MIGHT be a Millers Falls version....since the iron has that triangle logo. 

Stay tuned....will see what is going on, after Lunch.....
