Nice work Ken, I have one I pick up at a out door market last fall and have yet to work on it. This may light the fire to get- er- done. Nice ribbons as well a great gift, enjoy…Blkcherry

The plane is better off than it was…..on a shelf…...buried in a sawdust pile…...in the woodworking palace of an unnamed craftsman…......My hats off to both of you….....Patron…...for generously sending it to a person who would appreciate it and…......you Sir…...... for the great job of bring the old guy back to life!!!

Good job…...Enjoy!!!

I cant believe you got those beautiful curls,
I would never have believed it would work.
Nice job, your talent is showing…

Nice save on this plane Kent. Shows with a little TLC these old tools can still do some great work.

it has been funny to follow
how fast you have brought
the plane back into the toolbox
and employd it to work for you
it seams to be a very nice
plane to use
congrat´s with the restore

Kent;
Excellent Save! I have one just like it that needs some attention. Maybe this will inspire me to fix its broken handle and get her in shape.
Thx.

Kent thats looks good, its down hill from there.

It can still do the business Kent. I can relate to that plane. Old and worn out, but still ready to work after some TLC and a little sharpening.
