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....

As for that plane iron?

   
That has the original Price tag still on it...that I paid $12 for?   Price tag says...$ 1.58.....Inflation, right.

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..

   
As it did fit into the case of another plane that went along with the Union No. 41..

   
This is how they wound up....all nickel plated, and issues fixed..

   
Like bad bolts replaced, and a new nicker...and..

   
The front knob has been replaced...Old one was chipped up....Fence now also works much better..

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

   
It IS a WORKING Plane...

   

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

[bandit571]

Sargent #409, Type 2-3....

$29.49

   
Iron does have a chip in it...

   
But, it will match up to the #410c..

   
As for the "other plane" in these pictures?

   
That be the Millers Falls No. 15, Type 3....with the 2-1/4" wide iron.  And, Steel hardware instead of Brass...

Also, while out and about..picked the smaller of these 2..

   
Handle on the "new" Bevel Gauge is 4"...Price was $4..top one is a Sargent's Patent...Stanley called these both No. 18?

[bandit571]

2 planes in use, today....

   
Millers Falls No. 15, Type 3 ($40+Tax)

and to smooth things out after it got done..

   
A Stanley No. 4-1/2c, type 11...

   
That cost me $80 + Tax...

Both are tuned up, and working just fine...

   
At making a lot of see through shavings...
