Got tired of the "patina" on the Stanley No.71-1/2....
No  
   
Seeings how when these were new...they sported a shiny Nickle Plated appearance....well, I tore this down, wire wheeled the bad spots clean...hauled two parts upstairs and out to the patio....for a little face lift...

Even the collar got a coat..

let things dry a bit...then back downstairs to the shop...a couple of Brass parts needed cleaned up...then assemble the plane, and stash back into the case..
Cool
   
About as close to the Nickle Plate as I could get.   Note:  I did NOT paint the sole....figure all the work it has been getting lately, that should be enough to keep the sole shiny....

Should be ready for another 100 years of work?

May treat the Stanley No. 45, type 20 to the same face-lift....beginning to show a lot of copper, lately
Uhoh  Will have to mask the wood parts....

Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Looks nice Bandit.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
